Split regions at the locator positions
1 Set the left and right locator positions.
2 Select the regions you want to divide within the locator boundaries.
3 Choose Edit > Split > Region(s) by Locators (or use the Split Regions/Events by Locators or
Marquee Selection key command).
All selected regions located wholly, or partly, between the locators are cut at the left and right
locator positions. All regions created between the locator positions as a result of the Split
operation are then automatically selected.
Tip: You can achieve the same effect by defining a cycle with the pointer in the ruler, while
holding down Command.
Split a region into portions of equal length
m Hold down Option while cutting a region with the Scissors tool.
A plus sign appears next to the Scissors tool.
The selected region is cut into several pieces—each the same length as the first segment.
For example, to divide a 16-bar region into eight 2-bar regions, cut the region at the start of bar
3, while holding down Option.
