VIEW FILTER
The View Filter (View menu) allows you to specify
what types of MIDI, audio and mix automation
information are affected by Edit and Region menu
operations. Using this feature, you can extract
different types of information from a region
without having to laboriously edit out events that
you don’t want. For example, if you wanted to copy
only patch changes and aftertouch from a track,
you could select only those items in the View Filter.
Only the selected data would be copied to the
clipboard. As another example, if you were editing
Tempo changes in the Conductor track, you could
set the View Filter for Tempo changes only. You
could then cut and paste Tempo changes without
erasing or in any way affecting meter and key
changes in the same region. Remember, the View
Filter setting you make will affect all the commands
from the Edit menu, and all editing from the tracks
window. You should therefore make sure to change
it back after doing a specific editing task since it
may cause unwanted effects the next time you use
the Edit commands.

separate Filters: the Global View Filter and the
