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 <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.

|
|
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'.
