An existing range section can be easily copied and pasted using this list

between two other existing sections, before the first section, or after

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:
|
||||

|

|

<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'.

<h2>Tempo ruler modes</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Tempo ruler has two modes: editing tempo and mapping tempo. The mode can
|
||||
be selected in the <kbd class="menu">Edit > Tempo</kbd> menu.
|
||||
Additionally, users can select which one should be enabled by default
|
||||
<kbd class="menu">Edit > Preferences > Metronome > Default tempo
|
||||
ruler state for new sessions</kbd>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Map Tempo mode is best suited for cases when there is a live recording
|
||||
of an instrument or multiple instruments, with some tempo imperfections. So
|
||||
before more instruments are added, e.g. MIDI-programmed drums, the tempo map
|
||||
needs to be adjusted to match the actual performance. In this mode, MIDI data
|
||||
is not adjusted for tempo map changes, so if the live recording contains
|
||||
both audio and MIDI tracks, the notes will stay exactly where they are.
|
||||
Additionally, tweaking tempo markers does not change the wall clock position
|
||||
of other tempo markers.
|
||||

<p>
|
||||
The Change Tempo mode is better suited for cases when the musician either
|
||||
starts a session from scratch and creates the tempo map at the beginning, or
|
||||
when they do need the MIDI data to be adjusted for tempo map changes.
|
||||
Tweaking tempo in a tempo marker in this mode also changes the wall clock
|
||||
position of subsequent tempo markers.

<h2>Working with tempo markers in the Grid mode</h2>
|

<p>
|

In the Map Tempo mode, new tempo markers are only created at bar lines. Hover
|
||||
a bar line on the tempo ruler, this will change the mouse pointer. Then click
|
||||
and drag to align the bar line with an onset. A new tempo marker will be

||||
automatically created.

<h3>Tweaking positions of markers</h3>
|

To tweak the position of a tempo marker, hover the bar line where it's

<h3>Ramping between tempo markers</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In some cases, tempo fluctuates gradually during the performance. To deal
|
||||
with that, it's possible to set a tempo ramp. Create two markers, one where
|
||||
tempo begins changing, and one where it starts changing. Then hover the
|
||||
mouse pointer between bar lines and start dragging to the left or to the
|
||||
right. Dragging to the left increases the tempo at the beginning and lowers
|
||||
it towards the end. Dragging to the right increases the tempo towards the
|
||||
end and lowers it towards the beginning.
