rectangle, the selected range will follow your mouse
movements. When you are done with the adjustments,
release the left mouse button. In this way you can move
one edge only to the desired position while maintaining
the correct limits.
If the entire waveform is already selected and you still want
to adjust only one edge of the rectangle then you have two
possibilities:
Either you have another area that is not within the selected
range and you can click in there. The previously selected
range disappears and a very small range will appear. Now
you can define a new area within the previously selected
range.
Another way is to press the key 7 (Home) or 1 (End) on the
numeric key block on your keyboard. Those are the shortcut
commands to place the marker to the start and end of a
range. The previously selected reange disappears and you
can select a new one.
You can also find those functions in the menu Range. In
addition to that you can use key 4 (cursor left) and key 6
(cursor right) to scroll the range to the left or right.
De-Selecting a Range
If you want to select a different range or want to deactivate
the current range selection, click the mouse button once
into the project window. The previous range disappears and
the window can be used to select a new range.
Changing a Range
If you want to change an already selected range outline
(beginning, end, upper, and lower border), simply click the
left mouse button into the range and while holding the
button, move the mouse in the direction you want to extend
or shorten the range. As soon as the mouse pointer crosses
over the current range border, the program picks up the
border and snaps it to the mouse pointer. You now can
move the range border to the new point and release the
mouse button.
Moving a Range Horizontally
Hold the Ctrl or Shift key while clicking inside a range.
Next, hold the left mouse button clicked and move the range
to the new position. Release the mouse button to place the
range at the new location.
Saving Ranges and Special Range Commands
Ranges and markers can be saved with the help of menu
functions or keyboard shortcuts.
