Window Buttons
The three buttons found at the top left of all windows (except the Transport) perform
the following operations:
• Left button (black dot): closes the window.
• Center button (minus sign): minimizes the window, and places an icon on the Dock.
The window can be restored by clicking on the icon in the Dock.
• Right button (plus sign); resizes the window to the maximum screen size. A second
click on the icon will restore the original window size.
Moving Up One Level in the Display Hierarchy
Clicking the button featuring the square graphic (Up One Display Level button—or
UDL button) in the top left corner of the window takes you to the next (higher) display
level.
Note: Double-clicking on the background of the edit area of a window also takes you
to the next highest display level.
Display Levels in the Editors
Normally, the editors are at the lowest display level, which shows individual events.
Clicking the UDL button, at the upper left corner of the editor window, allows you to
move up one level in the hierarchy. As an example, if you are currently looking at the
events in a MIDI Region inside a folder, the display will switch to a view of the MIDI
Region in the parent folder.
In the Matrix and Hyper Editors, this step up the display hierarchy means that you will
then see an Arrange window. In this scenario, a change to the lowest display hierarchy
level will cause the relevant editor to reappear. At the Arrange level, you will see the
local menus of the Matrix or Score Editors, which also contain all of the Arrange
window functions. Double-clicking on a MIDI Region opens the Hyper, Matrix, Score
Editor, or Event List display of the contents of the MIDI Region. Use of this facility, in
conjunction with the UDL button allows you to quickly switch to another MIDI Region,
and edit its contents.
