Arrange Window

A quick tip: if you’re editing MIDI Regions that appear as notation on a polyphonic
score style, we recommend using Normalize without Channel, as the event channel is
used to assign notes to individual polyphonic voices in the Score Editor.

Extended Region Parameter Box

The Extended Region Parameter box contains additional Region parameters. These
include more comprehensive quantization (see “Quantization” on page 147)
parameters.

Opening the Extended Region Parameter Box

To open the Extended Region Parameters float window, you can use either; the Options
> Extended Region Parameters
command, or double-click on the left half of the Region
Parameter box (next to the parameter names).

Clip Length

Value range: On/Off. Neutral value: Off

When switched On, this parameter causes any notes that sustain beyond the end of a
MIDI Region to stop playing at the MIDI Region endpoint. Remember, however, that
Clip Length is purely a playback parameter. The data of these longer notes is not
affected, and their display in the editor windows is unchanged.

The point of this function is to allow you to alter the length of a note directly from the
Arrange window, by adjusting the length of the MIDI Region. Clip length has no effect
on Folders.

Score

Value range: On/Off. Neutral value: On.

When switched Off, this parameter removes the selected MIDI Regions from the Score
Edit window. This is useful if the MIDI Region doesn’t contain any notes—the MIDI
Region contains other data, such as controller information for fader automation.
