96 Chapter 3 Arrange Window
Note: If you hold down Option before grabbing the track number, no extra Regions on
the track will be selected. If no Regions were selected in the first place, an empty track
with the same track instrument is created at the destination position.
If the Cycle function is switched on, all Regions in the Cycle area are moved from the
old track to the new track. The musical result is not any different, because the new track
is played by the same track instrument.
Moving Regions onto a Track
The function Region > Move Selected Regions to Current Track moves all selected Regions
from different tracks onto the selected track. The time position of all Regions is
retained.
Deleting Tracks
To delete the selected track, use the Track > Delete function. If there are any Regions on
the track, a warning message appears first.
If there is no Region selected in the Arrange area, you can perform the same function
by pressing Backspace.
A third method is to grab the track as if to reposition it (see above), and remove it from
the Track List by dragging it to the left.
Deleting Unused Tracks
Use the Track > Delete Unused function to delete any tracks that don’t contain any
Regions.
Naming Tracks
To name a track independently of its assigned instrument, select Track > Create Track
Name.
You can also change the name of an existing track by double-clicking on the
instrument name in the Track List, while holding down Command, and typing in the
text input field that appears.
The track name is then displayed in place of the instrument name in the Track List, and
will be used as the default name for recorded Regions.
If there is enough room vertically (achieved by zooming in vertically), both the track
and instrument name will be displayed.
You can see the instrument name in the Object Parameter box, or check it by clicking
on the track name and holding down the mouse button.
