sume page scrolling and jump to the current

Object Selections
You can use the Object Grabber tool to select
non-contiguous regions on one or more tracks.

tion to include a portion of a region, first turn
the portion into a new region with the Separate
Region command (see "Separate Region Com-
mands" on page 328).
The Object Grabber is not available when
the Edit mode is set to Shuffle or Spot.
To select non-contiguous regions:
Make sure the Edit mode is set to either Slip or
