<p>
Moving or copying a region is done using the <a href="@@toolbox">Grab mouse mode</a>,
or the Smart mode with the pointer in the lower half of the region
to begin a move or <a href="@@copy-regions">copy</a> operation.

</p>
<p>
With the pointer in the region, using a <kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd>-drag will
make the region follow the pointer as it is moved around. By default,
the region can move freely along the timeline.

</p>
<p>
To move a region from one track to another, the move must be started as
described above, but the pointer should end in the desired track. The
region will follow the pointer.
</p>
<p class="note">
if some other kinds of tracks are visible, the region will remain where it is
as the pointer moves across them, and will then jump to the new track. This
serves as a visual reminder that an audio region cannot be dragged into an automation

track or a bus, for example.

In order to move multiple regions, they should be selected before moving. Then
<kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd>-dragging one of the selected regions will move
all the regions, keeping their positions relative to each other.

2014-02-18 14:12:28 -05:00
