332 Chapter 8 Global Tracks
Note: Events on protected tracks will not be selected and—if currently selected—will
be deselected by these commands. Consequently, there are several choices available
should you wish to avoid having global events selected by any of these selection
commands: Either you activate the Track Protect buttons of the desired tracks; or you
choose Edit > Deselect Global Tracks after the use of any of these commands; or you
simply turn off the Global track display temporarily, using the View > Global Tracks
menu option or the corresponding key command.
Copying Global Events
You can use the same copy methods used for Regions and MIDI events on global
events: Drag an event while holding the Option key (watch the help tag) or use the
standard menu or key commands for Copy and Paste. The copied global event will be
pasted at the current Song Position Line (SPL) location. If multiple events are copied,
the first one will be pasted at the SPL, the others will retain their relative distance to
the first copied event.
Deleting Global Events
To delete one or several global events, select the desired event/s and press Backspace
or Delete, or just use the Eraser tool.
Marker Track
Markers can be placed at any position in the Bar Ruler or in the Marker track. The
marker text, color, and length can be edited as desired. The main purpose of markers is
to label different parts of a song, and to enable the quick selection and playback of
these parts. Marker text can contain any information you like. Additional information
about Markers can be found in “Markers” on page 157.
If the Marker track is visible, Markers will be displayed in it. If the Marker track is hidden,
existing markers will be displayed in the Bar Ruler. The main advantage of the Marker
track, in comparison to the marker display in the Bar Ruler, is that the Marker track
allows markers to be copied, or changed in length, by dragging their border lines.
Note: If you click a marker in the Marker track while holding the Option key, the SPL
will jump to the beginning of the marker (while the sequencer is running). This
corresponds to clicking a marker with the Command key in the Bar Ruler’s marker
display (if the Marker track is hidden).
