<p>
  Aligning regions (sometimes called "spotting") means moving one or more regions based on a defined location, which in Ardour is always the <a href="@@edit-point-control">edit point</a>. An alignment operation moves the region(s) so that some part of the region is positioned at the edit point. Available alignment commands include:
</p>

<table class="dl">
  <tr><th>Align Region starts <kbd class="mod14">a</kbd></th>
  <td>Selected region(s) are moved so that their start is located at the current edit point</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Align Region ends <kbd class="mod2">a</kbd></th>
  <td>Selected region(s) are moved so that the end is located at the current edit point</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Align Region sync points <kbd class="mod3">a</kbd></th>
  <td>Selected region(s) are moved so that their sync point is located at the current edit point</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Align Region starts relative <kbd class="key">a</kbd></th>
  <td>Selected region(s) are moved so that the start of the earliest region is located at the current edit point, and all others maintain their relative position relative to that region</td></tr>

Initial cleanup of manual content. This includes fixing em-dashes, badly spaced colons, various misspellings, removal of spurious {% %} constructs, conversion of <br /> to <br> (still too many <br>s kicking around), and initial light cleanup of a few sections that caught my eye. 2017-02-13 22:47:33 -05:00
