Editing the location of a meter change, key
change, or marker
To change the location of an item in the median
strip:
1 Click the item you wish to move and drag left to
advance it or drag right to delay it.
The event will move to the new location when you
release the mouse.
Moving meter changes can produce partial
measures and other situations that require an in-
depth knowledge of how meter changes work.
Before dragging meter changes, be sure to review
chapter 59, “Change Meter” (page 725).
The Tempo Change Grid
Tempo changes are displayed and edited on the
Tempo Change grid in the same fashion as
continuous data, except that the Tempo Grid is
displayed in Bars mode only. Each tempo change
event is displayed on the grid as a small icon with a
colored bar extending to its right until the next
tempo event. When the tempo change event is
selected, a line extends from its icon to the origin at
the bottom of the grid. A tempo change ruler on
the left measures events on the grid. Tempo
changes can be selected and edited in the same way
as a selected continuous data type. For more
information, “Editing continuous data in Points or
Bars mode” on page 407.
Inserting tempo changes
Follow the same procedure for inserting
continuous data. See “Inserting continuous data in
Points or Bars mode” on page 407.
Getting Digital Performer to follow tempo
changes
Digital Performer follows tempo changes when it is
placed in Conductor Track tempo mode. For
details, see chapter 58, “Change Tempo”
(page 717).
Zooming the Tempo Ruler
The Tempo ruler in the Conductor track can be
zoomed in for more precise tempo editing.
Clicking the Tempo ruler toggles quickly between
your custom zoom scale and the normal scale.
To zoom the Tempo ruler, drag over the range of
values you wish to zoom. The Tempo ruler will
zoom in on the range that you select. Then click the
Tempo ruler to toggle between your custom zoom
scale and the normal scale.
Figure 39-34: You can zoom in the Tempo Ruler to get better resolu-
tion when editing tempos. Just drag over the range you want to zoom
in on, and then click the ruler to toggle between the zoomed in range
and the normal range.
