72 Chapter 3 Customizing Your Window Setup
 Same Level Link: When activated in a given window, this window always displays the
same contents as the key focus window. The display updates whenever the selection
(of data) in the key focus window changes. Here’s an example: Imagine the key focus
window is a Piano Roll Editor. In Same Level Link mode, the Score Editor and Event
List will display the same data in another form.
 Content Link: This mode results in the window always showing the contents of the
region selected in the key focus window. The display is therefore always one level
below that of the top window. Here’s a Content Link example: If the Arrange area is
the active window, any opened MIDI editor window will show the events of the
selected MIDI region. Selecting a different MIDI region in the Arrange area will
update the display of the linked editor to show the contents of the newly-selected
region. You could also use Content Link mode in one Arrange area, to display the
folder contents of another Arrange area.
∏
Tip: You can also quickly switch between these modes by clicking the Link
button: clicking it once switches between No Link and Same Level Link mode. Double-
clicking the Link button switches to Content Link mode.
The symbol on the Link button reflects the chosen display mode:
Content Catch Mode
Content Catch mode is commonly used in the Arrange area, with linked MIDI editor
windows updating to show the events within the MIDI region that is currently being
played (on the selected Arrange track).
Initially, this is equivalent to Content Link mode, but when the playhead reaches the
next region on the same track, the contents of this region are then displayed.
To enable Content Catch mode:
1 Click the Catch button to turn it on.
2 Control-click (or right-click) the Link button, and choose Content Link mode.
