<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
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:

<h2 id="creating-range-sections">Creating range sections</h2>
<p>
To start a new range section, press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> 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.
</p>
<p>
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'.
</p>
<h2 id="editing-range-sections">Editing range sections</h2>
<p>
To move the position of a range section marker, single-click and drag it
left or right.
</p>
<p>
To rename a range section marker, either double-click it, or right-click,
then select the <kbd class="menu">Rename…</kbd> menu item. This will open
a dialog for editing the caption/name of the range section.
</p>
<h2 id="removing-range-sections">Removing range sections</h2>
<p>
To remove a range section marker, right-click it ans select the
<kbd class="menu">Remove</kbd> menu item.
