then do one of the following:
To create a new breakpoint:
Click with the Pencil tool or any Grabber tool
■
on the line graph.
To edit one breakpoint:
Click an existing point on the line graph with
■
the any Grabber tool and drag it to a new posi-
tion.
To clear one breakpoint:
Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac)
■
with any Grabber tool.
To edit several breakpoints at once:
Use the Selector tool to select a range in the
■
automation playlist that contains the break-
points, and do one of the following:
• To move the breakpoints earlier or later in
the track, press the Plus key (+) to nudge
them later (to the right) or the Minus key
(–) to move them earlier (to the left). The
breakpoints move by the current Nudge
value.
• To adjust the breakpoint values, click with
any of the Trim tools in the selection and
drag the breakpoints up or down.
When you use a Trim tool to edit a selection
containing breakpoints, new anchor break-

lected area. To suppress creation of anchor
breakpoints, press Alt (Windows) or Option
(Mac) while using a Trim tool.
To edit all breakpoint values in a region:

■
and drag the breakpoints up or down.
