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'.

Velocities of notes can be edited on both the timeline by selecting notes
and scrolling the mouse wheel above them, or by editing representations of
velocities in a dedicated Velocity automation lane.
</p>
<h2>Velocity lane</h2>
<p>
To open the velocity lane, right-click on the MIDI track header, select
<kbd class="menu">Automation &gt; Velocity</kbd>.
</p>

<img width="100%" src="/images/velocity-lane.png" alt="Velocity lane below a MIDI track">
<figcaption class="center">Velocity lane below a MIDI track</figcaption>

<p>
Each notes's velocity is represented as a lollipop-shaped object.
Each lollipop object has two characteristics that represent the velocity
value:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
The vertical position: the lower the lollipop head is, the lower is the
velocity value, and vice versa.
</li>
<li>
The color: just like with notes on the timeline, it goes from pale yellow
(low velocity) to bright red (high velocity).
</li>
</ol>
<h2>Editing single notes</h2>
<p>
To edit a single note's velocity <em>on the timeline</em>, click to select
the note in either Draw or Edit mode, then scroll the mouse wheel up or
down. The new value will be displayed in an overlay.

<h2>Editing multiple notes</h2>
<p>
To edit velocities of multiple notes <em>on the timeline</em>, in the Edit
mode, do a rubberband selection tp select adjucent notes or press
<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> to select non-adjucent notes (<kbd>Shift</kbd> will select
entire chords), then hover one of the selected notes and rotate the mouse
wheel up or down. Velocities will be adjusted in all selected notes
relatively, i.e. by the same amount.
</p>
<video width="75%" controls>
<source src="/videos/midi-velocity-timeline-edit-multiple-notes.mp4" type="video/mp4">

<p>
It's also possibly to edit the velocity of multiple notes in a MIDI region
by drawing free or straight lines in the velocity lane.
</p>
<p>
To draw a free line, in Draw mode, click and draw the mouse pointer over the
velocity lane from left to right:
</p>
<video width="75%" controls>
<source src="/videos/midi-velocity-lane-draw-freely.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
<p>
To draw a straight line, in Draw mode, press and hold <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>, then
click and drag the mouse pointer to draw a straight line. Once you get the
line you expected, release the mouse button and then the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> key.

Just like with automation lines, you can also combine free and straight lines
in one go. Draw a free line, then press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> to draw straight line,
release the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> key, continue drawing free lines, release the mouse
button when you are'done drawing.

<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 &gt; Tempo</kbd> menu.
Additionally, users can select which one should be enabled by default
<kbd class="menu">Edit &gt; Preferences &gt; Metronome &gt; Default tempo

</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.

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

tempo begins changing, and one where it starts changing. Then hover the

from left to right.
</li>
<li>
