Auto Backup:
This pull-down menu switches on, and controls the automatic backup (see “Saving
Songs” on page 58) function. The menu options are self-explanatory.
Global Preferences: Editing
Right Mouse Button:
This pull-down menu determines the right mouse behavior. Options are:
Is Assignable to a Tool, which allows any tool to be assigned to the right mouse button.
The Opens Toolbox option does just that, when the right mouse button is clicked.
Limit Dragging to One Direction In: Matrix and Score
In the Matrix or Score Editors, you can only move notes in one direction (horizontally or
vertically), per operation. This means that a note may be either transposed or moved in
time, but not both at once. This prevents accidental alteration of one or the other
parameter.
Limit Dragging to One Direction In: Arrange
This restricts the direction you can move Regions and folders in the Arrange window, in
a similar way to, and for the same reasons, as the option above.
Double-clicking a MIDI Region opens:
This pull-down menu allows you to select which Editor opens when you double-click
on a MIDI Region in the Arrange window. Options are the Score, Event, Matrix, and
Hyper Editors.
Limit Multiple Undo Steps
Limits the number of Undo Steps (see “Undo” on page 32). Click on the arrows to
increase or decrease the number of Undo steps.
Add ‘Last Edit Function’ to Region Name
After performing any edit operation (cutting, for example), the description of the edit
operation is added to the name of the arrange Region (or resulting Regions).
Global Preferences: Cycle
Cycle Pre-Processing
In order to ensure a smooth cycle jump, the cycle jump is processed slightly before its
actual position. This pull-down menu setting allows you to change the value of the pre-
processing time.
