<h2>Creating a Range on the Timeline</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Creating a new <dfn>range</dfn> can be done by <kbd class="mouse">right</kbd>
|
||||
clicking on the Range Markers ruler at the top
|
||||
of the timeline, then selecting <kbd class="menu">New Range</kbd>. Two markers
|
||||
with the same name and opposing arrows will appear along the ruler.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It is also possible to create range markers from a selected range or
|
||||
region in the Editor window, or to using the
|
||||
<kbd class="menu">Ranges & Marks List</kbd> in the Editor list.
|
||||
There are multiple ways to create range markers:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<kbd class="mouse">Right</kbd>-clicking on the Range Markers ruler at the
|
||||
top of the timeline, then selecting <kbd class="menu">New Range</kbd>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<kbd class="mouse mod1">Left</kbd>-clicking and dragging right on the Range
|
||||
Markers ruler. This will render a red-filled area across all tracks and
|
||||
busses to help preview the extent of the range in creation. Once the mouse
|
||||
button is released, a paired range marker will be created.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Selecting a range in the Editor window, then
|
||||
<kbd class="mouse">right</kbd>-clicking and selecting
|
||||
<kbd class="menu">Add Range Markers</kbd>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Clicking <kbd class="button">New Range</kbd> button at the bottom of the
|
||||
<kbd class="window">Ranges & Marks</kbd> sidebar. The markers will
|
||||
be created around the playhead position, unless the playhead in at the time
|
||||
origin (in which case the markers will be placed at the time origin
|
||||
position).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<kbd class="mouse">Right</kbd>-clicking a location or a CD marker and
|
||||
selecting <kbd class="menu">Create Range to Next Marker</kbd>. This will
|
||||
create a pair of range markers that start at the selected marked and end at
|
||||
the position of the next location or CD marker (both rulers are taken into
|
||||
account).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>

<h2>Editing a Range</h2>

Both markers of a range can be independently moved along the timeline by

<p>
|
||||
They can also be moved together by <kbd class="mod2n"></kbd>-dragging one marker.
|
||||
Any pair or range markers, including session start/end markers, can be
|
||||
repositioned to the extents of an existing range selection on the timeline by
|
||||
<kbd class="mouse">right</kbd>-clicking on either of the markers and selecting
|
||||
<kbd class="menu">Set Range from Selection</kbd> in the menu.
