Edit View Event Editing

In many cases, editing actions will require a close look at the Events being edited. To perform
these edits in the Arrange view would require zooming in to a level that would make it difficult
to retain your sense of the overall Song structure, then zooming back out after the edits are
performed. Edit views allow you to avoid this inefficiency. To open the Edit view for the
selected Event, click on the Edit view button, press [F2] on the keyboard, or double-click on
any Event. While there is a common Edit view, Audio Events open in the Audio Editor, and
Instrument Parts open in the Music Editor.
The Edit view will display the currently selected Event on a timeline that is independent of the
Arrange-view timeline. By default, the Edit-view timeline is zoomed in further than the default
Arrange-view timeline. The center position of the display is based on position in the Event that
was last clicked in the Arrange view, and clicking on a new position in the Event in the Arrange
view will re-center the Edit-view display.
The Editor can be detached to its own sizable window by clicking on the Detach button at the
upper right of the Editor. Any Track can be selected from the Track drop-down selector to the
upper left of the Editor, under the toolbar.
6.12.1 Audio Editor
The Audio Editor display operates independently of the Arrange view and has an independent
Timebase setting. Options that appear in the Editor are the same as in the Arrange view and
will affect tools and Events in the same way. Note that the Quantize, Snap, and Timebase
settings are not shared between the Arrange view and Editor; they remain independent. A
Snap to Event Hotspots option is found in the Editor Snap dropdown menu; it allows tool and
Event snapping to hotspots such as Bend Markers.
The displayed level scale to the left of the waveform lane in the Audio Editor can be adjusted
by clicking on the scale and dragging left or right. This effectively zooms the waveform
amplitude, which may be useful when editing audio with relatively low levels.
[Right]/[Control]-clicking in this area allows the selection of a percentage- or dB-based scale.
