• If the region is selected, with the Selector
tool, Control-click (Windows) or
Command-click (Mac) anywhere on the se-
lected region and choose Matches > Expand
Alternates To New Playlists.
• If the region is not selected, with the Selec-
tor tool, Control-click (Windows) or
Command-click (Mac) at the precise begin-
ning of the loop or punch range and
choose Matches > Expand Alternates To New
Playlists.
