+ + The Arrangement ruler allows creating range sections that separate + meaningful parts of songs form each other and easily creating their copies. + An example of using range sections would recording an intro, then the first + verse, then the chorus, then recording the second verse, the copy/pasting + the chorus with all tracks and automation to follow the second verse. +
+ ++ On the screenshot below, there's a typical setup with an intro, a verse, + a chorus, a second verse, a chorus, a bridge, a chorus, and an outro: +
+ +
+ + To start a new range section, press Ctrl and single-click on the + Arrangement ruler. Ardour will create a new range section marker named + 'verseN', where N is a number starting at 1 and incremented each time you + create a new range section marker. +
+ ++ Because range section assume ranges, a second marker should be created + the same way to define the end of the range. Thus, as the song ends with + an 'outro' section, you will need to create the last range section marker + at the end of the song and give it a name like 'end'. +
+ ++ To move the position of a range section marker, single-click and drag it + left or right. +
+ ++ To rename a range section marker, either double-click it, or right-click, + then select the Rename… menu item. This will open + a dialog for editing the caption/name of the range section. +
+ ++ To remove a range section marker, right-click it ans select the + Remove menu item. +
