Working with tracks and lanes
Organizing tracks in folder tracks
• Hiding/showing data on folder tracks
Right-click on the folder track to open the context menu and from the “Show Data
on Folder Tracks” submenu select one of the options. This menu is also available in
the Preferences dialog (Editing page). The following options are available:
• Muting and soloing folder tracks
Click the Mute or Solo button on the folder track to mute or solo all tracks in the
folder as one unit.
Working with folder parts
A folder part is a graphic representation of events and parts on the tracks in the folder.
Folder parts indicate the position and length of the events and parts, as well as on
which track they are (their vertical position). If part colors are used, these are also
shown in the folder part.
Any Project window editing you perform to a folder part affects all the events and
parts it contains. You can select several folder parts if you like – this allows you to
handle and edit them together. The editing you can perform includes:
- Moving a folder part. This will move its contained events and parts (possibly
resulting in other folder parts, depending on how the parts overlap).
- Using cut, copy and paste.
- Deleting a folder part. This will delete its contained events and parts.
- Splitting a folder part with the Cut tool.
- Gluing folder parts together with the Glue tool. This will only work if the adjacent
folder parts contain events or parts on the same track.
- Resizing a folder part resizes the contained events and parts according to the
selected resizing method.
- Muting a folder part. This will mute its contained events and parts.
Tracks inside a folder can be edited as one entity by performing the editing directly on
the folder part containing the tracks. You can also edit individual tracks within the
folder by showing the contained tracks, selecting parts and opening editors as usual.
