The <dfn>Region properties</dfn> window brings information about the selected
|
|
regions, and allows to fine tune its sequencing. It is accessed through the
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Region > Properties…</kbd> menu, or by
|
|
<kbd class="mouse">right</kbd> clicking the region,
|
|
<kbd class="menu"><i>Name_of_the_Region</i> > Properties…</kbd>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This window also allows to manually set the different values.

The context menu that pops up also allows the relevant fields (Position, End,
