Slip Editing MIDI (Non-destructive Editing)

Slip editing allows you to non-destructively hide or reveal the beginning of a clip, the end of a clip, or
both. The hidden material in a clip is not heard during playback. All hidden material remains intact
and can be restored. All Slip Editing movements correspond to the current snap to resolution. For more
information about the snap to grid, see "Defining and Using the Snap Grid" on page 201.

Slip Editing Modes

Slip editing has three modes:
Trimming
As a default, when slip editing a clip, the clip's contents always remains fixed in time. If the first
measure of a clip is hidden using slip editing, the remaining material does not shift forward in time by a
measure. The first measure of the clip is simply muted during playback. Playback of the clip resumes at
the second measure.
Slide-trimming
If you want the clip's contents to shift in time, you can move the material in a slip edited clip by using
modifier keys, clicking on the middle of the clip and moving it either right or left.
Scroll-trimming
You can also shift the clip's contents in time, in relation to either the beginning or end of the clip itself,
by scroll-trimming.

Using Slip Editing for MIDI Clips

When Slip Editing the beginning of a MIDI clip, if you drag the start of the clip past the beginning of a
note (Note On), the entire note is lost even if it extends into the part of the clip which remains visible.
Only notes completely contained in the slip edited clip remain.
When Slip Editing the end of a MIDI clip, if you drag the end of the clip so it covers part of a note, the
note's duration is trimmed accordingly.
