Resizing (masking) clips
All clip types can be resized by clicking and dragging either of the Clip Resize handles on the selected clip(s). This
can be done both in the Song View and in Edit Mode. In Edit Mode, the Clip Resize handles appear in the Clip Over-
view area.
A selected note clip
If you resize a clip and make it smaller, any recordings or events that now lie outside the clip boundaries will not
sound, or have any effect, when played back. However, they are not deleted - just masked. If you make the clip larger
again, the recordings or events that were masked will become visible and will play back again. See “About masked re-
cordings and events”.
If you enlarge an unmasked clip, nothing special will happen except that the clip “window” becomes larger.
• If you resize an audio clip which uses Fade In and/or Fade Out, the fade slopes will follow along, unaffected,
with the clip boundaries.
Resizing multiple clips
It’s possible to resize several clips by first selecting the clips, and then dragging a Clip Resize handle on one of the
selected clips. All selected clips will be resized by the same amount.
Resizing clips using the Inspector
Another way of resizing clips is to change the clip length(s) in the Inspector. This can be done in the following way:
D Select one or several clips on the Arrange Pane and then change the Length value in the Inspector by clicking
on the up/down arrow buttons.
In the example below, we expand the clip lengths by 2 bars by clicking the up arrow button twice.
All selected clips become 2 bars longer.
q See “Inspector segment displays” for more details on how to edit in the Inspector displays.
• If the Tick segment in the Length display shows an asterisk (*), it means that the value is a fraction of a Tick - a
subtick. See “About subticks in the Position and Length displays” for more info.
