146 Tutorial 6 – Editing your music
Moving clips
1. Another common editing task is to move a selected part of a clip, or an entire clip around in a
project. If you understand selection, you're half way there. Let's undo the previous edit (go to
Edit > Undo or press CTRL+Z), and turn on Snap to Grid. If you changed the snap resolution,
make sure you change it back to Whole Note. Select the section you want to move. Let's go back
to the track named GR_Lead 1 and select measures 6 through 10.
2. With the Smart tool selected, click the top part of the selection and drag the clip to the desired
location. For this tutorial, let’s drag the selection to the bottom of the project and create a new
Audio track that contains the selected clip.
The Drag and Drop Options dialog box appears, which lets you specify what to do with any
existing data in the target location. You can either replace the existing data or blend the old and
new data.

Splitting clips
In some cases, you might want to split a clip. As described later in this tutorial, it can be beneficial to
have clip borders at different points on a track. You can split a clip with the Smart tool or Split
tool .
To split a clip, do one of the following:
• With the Smart tool , position the pointer where you want to split the clip, then hold down ALT
and click (or lasso to split a region).
• With the Split tool , position the pointer where you want to split the clip, then click (or drag to
split one or more clips at the mousedown and mouseup points).
