Split regions in the Tracks area
You can split a region in the Tracks area, and use the split segments of the region in different
places in the Tracks area.
When you split a MIDI region, any notes at the split point are shortened to that point. If notes in
a split MIDI region overlap other notes by more than a 1/16 note, a dialog appears, asking if you
want to keep, shorten, or split the notes.
Split regions at the playhead position
1 In the Tracks area, select the region or regions you want to split.
2 Move the playhead over the point where you want to split the regions, then choose Edit > Split >
Regions at Playhead.
The selected region is split into two regions at the playhead position. Only the selected region
is split, even if a region on another track is under the playhead as well. If multiple regions are
selected and are under the playhead, they are all split.
Tip: To cut at the nearest bar, use the Split Regions/Events by Rounded Playhead Position
key command.
Split regions using the Scissors tool
1 Select the regions you want to split.
2 Select the Scissors tool, then click-hold the regions you want to split.
The help tag shows the current split position.
3 Release the mouse button.
All selected regions are cut at the position shown in the help tag.
When selecting a cut point with the Scissors tool, you can move backward and forward in steps
of one division. The grid is based on the Snap pop-up menu setting.
