Editing the Sequencer with the Toolbars

The way in which you edit a sequencer with the buttons of the toolbar is decided by
the menu command Insert > Drag & Drop or Insert > Direct.
• In the Drag & Drop editing mode, you drag an element button (symbol) from the
toolbar to the required position.
• In the Direct mode, you position a symbol at the selected point.
"Drag and Drop" editing mode
When you are working in the "Drag and Drop" editing mode, you add elements as
follows:
1. Click an element button in the toolbar with the mouse pointer or select an
element from the Insert menu.
Result: The mouse pointer takes on the appropriate shape.
2. Now click the position at which you want to insert the element. If the mouse
pointer takes the shape of a "prohibited sign" (a circle with a diagonal bar), this
indicates that the element cannot be inserted at the selected point. Each click
inserts a further element.
3. After you have inserted all the required elements, click the button in the toolbar
or the menu command from the Insert menu again to complete the action.
"Direct" Editing Mode
If you are in the "Direct" editing mode, you insert elements as follows:
1. Select the element after which you want to insert a new element.
2. Click an element button in the toolbar with the mouse pointer or select an
element from the Insert menu.
3. To add further elements of the same type at the same position, click the button
or the menu command from the Insert menu again.

Navigating in the Sequencer

To allow you to navigate in the sequencer you can use not only the keys of the
cursor pad but also the functions in the Edit > Go To menu. These functions make
it easier to navigate through large sequencers and when debugging.
Displaying a Specific Step or Transition
With the menu command Edit > Go To > Step / Transition, you can jump to a
specific step-transition pair. You can specify either the number or the name.
