Working with linked clips
To make linked copies of a clip using copy and paste
1. Select the clips you want to copy.
2. Choose Edit > Copy Special to display the Copy dialog box.
3. Choose options as desired and click OK. SONAR copies the clips to the Clipboard.
4. Click in the Track pane to set the current track to be the one where clips should be pasted.
5. Set the Now time to be the time at which the clips should be pasted.
6. Choose Edit > Paste Special to display the Paste dialog box.
7. In the Paste dialog box, choose one of two options:
• Linked Repetitions. If you choose this option, only the new copies of the original clip are
linked together. Edits you make to the new copies do not affect the original, and vice versa.
• Link to Original Clip(s). If you choose this option, the new copies and the original clip are
linked together. Edits you make to any of the linked clips, including the original, affect all other
linked clips in the group.
8. Choose the other options you want and click OK.
SONAR creates copies of the selected clips that are linked in the way you chose.
To unlink linked clips
1. In the Clips pane, select the clips you want to unlink.
2. Right-click on any selected clip and choose Unlink from the pop-up menu. SONAR displays the
Unlink Clips dialog box.
3. Choose the unlink option you want, and click OK.
SONAR unlinks the clips and updates the Clips pane accordingly. From now on, any changes you
make to one of the clips are applied only to remaining linked clips, if any.
To select the clips that are linked to another clip
1. Select one or more clips in the Track view.
2. Right-click on any selected clip and choose Select All Siblings from the pop-up menu.
SONAR selects any clip that is linked to one of the currently selected clips.
