When <dfn>copying a MIDI region</dfn>, Ardour has to decide whether to make the
|
|
copy refer to the same data as the original or not. If it does refer
|
|
to the same data, then editing either the copy or the original will
|
|
affect the both of them. If it refers to an independent copy of the
|
|
data then each one can be edited without affecting the other.

<h2>Changing dependent/independent copying for the entire session</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Session > Properties > Misc > MIDI region copies are
|
|
independent</kbd> can be used to control the default behaviour when
|
|
making a copy of a MIDI region.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When enabled, every new copy of a MIDI
|
|
region results in a copy being made of the MIDI data used by the
|
|
region, and the new copy of the region will refer to that data.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When disabled, every new copy of a MIDI region will refer to the same
|
|
MIDI data, and thus editing any copy will change the contents of all
|
|
of them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Changing the status of this option has no effect on the existing
|
|
dependent/independent status of existing region copies.
|

</p>

<h2>Making an existing copy of a MIDI region independent</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<kbd class="mouse">Right</kbd> clicking on the MIDI region to be independent
|
|
then selecting <kbd class="menu">MIDI > Unlink From Other Copies</kbd>
|
|
makes it independent: the copy is now using its own version of the data, and
|
|
edits to the copy will affect only the copy. Other copies will continue to
|
|
share data.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="note">
|
|
Note that the copied data only covers the extent of the region when
|
|
the copy is made. If the region was already trimmed and then a copy
|
|
is made, an independent copy will have no access to data that is
|
|
earlier or later than the bounds of the region it was copied
|
|
from. Put differently, making an independent copy of a trimmed
|
|
MIDI region only retains the visible part of it.
