The Event List
218
marker is always selected (so the existing selection
changes as you scroll). The scrolling speed can be varied as
you scroll, by vertically moving the mouse. The key com-
mand Scroll to Next/Previous Event is also available from
the Event window, and has the same end result.
Remember that if the MIDI Out button is switched on ev-
ery newly selected event will be played. This means you
can scroll through the list and audibly monitor the events
as you go.
If you want to keep the selected event where it is, use the
usual scroll bar functions.
Selection Techniques: When selecting events with the
mouse, you should click near the status column to avoid
any unintentional parameter alterations.
You can use any of the standard selection techniques here:
individual selection by clicking on objects, multiple selec-
tion using the rubber band, or both of these (without alter-
ing the previous selection), in conjunction with shift.
Don’t forget you can also make selections according to
specific criteria via the Edit menu (read the section
Selec-
tion Techniques from page 93 onwards).
Any events which you remove from the display by clicking
on the event type buttons are immediately deselected. This
ensures that all the functions affect only the displayed (se-
lected) events.
Special Selection Functions: Some selection com-
mands (which can be accessed from within all the Editor
windows via their Edit menus), can also be utilized in the
Event List by selecting an item with the mouse while hold-
ing down additional modifier keys.
1. If you click on an event while holding down ctrl, you
select all events between the last event that was select-
ed and the current one.
2. If you hold down alt and select an event, all similar
events will also be selected.
3. If you select an event while holding down the alt and
ctrl keys, all identical events will be selected.
Event Editing
Adding Events: To add an event, click on the desired
event type button with the pencil (or with any other tool
while holding down the right mouse button). The event is
then added at the current song position, and is automati-
cally selected.
