Screensets
Screensets
A screenset is a snapshot of the current layout of various views and windows in a project, including
which windows are open, their size, position, zoom level and whether they are docked or floating.
You can create up to 10 screensets per project and freely switch between screensets at any time.
Figure 325. Screensets allow you to instantly switch between different window layouts.
One of the 10 available screensets is always active. There is no need to explicitly save screensets;
SONAR does that automatically for you, allowing you to focus on your work. The current window
layout is always stored as the current screenset. SONAR automatically saves the current screenset
when you save the project or switch to another screenset. This allows screensets to seamlessly
integrate into any workflow. You can also lock screensets in order to prevent any further changes.
When you open a project, SONAR automatically restores the project’s last used screenset.
Screensets make it very efficient to arrange views and windows in SONAR. For example, you may
prefer to use a particular window layout while recording, a different layout when working with loops,
and a different layout while mixing, etc. By creating custom screensets, you can quickly change the
window layout depending on the current workflow. When you select a screenset, SONAR
automatically restores the window layout that is stored in the screenset, so there is no need to
manually close or open windows.
Screensets can be selected and edited from the Screenset module in the Control Bar, or with
number keys 1-0 on your computer keyboard.
