Global Tracks

Global Tracks provide a perfect way to view and edit
global events, such as Tempo, which affect all tracks in
the arrangement.

Global tracks can be displayed in the following windows, just below the Bar Ruler:

Arrange window

Matrix Editor

Score Editor (in linear view)

Hyper Editor

There are several types of Global tracks:

Tempo track: contains all tempo changes of a song.

Signature track: contains the basic key of the song and all time and key signatures,
as they are displayed in the Score Editor.

Transposition track: shows global transposition events.

Video track: displays frames of a QuickTime movie as “thumbnails” that are perfectly
synchronized with the music, making it ideal for film scoring. Cuts in the movie can
be automatically detected and marked.
