6.2.1.4 Select Multiple Events
Multiple Events can be selected in order to edit them all at once, with a single action. To select
multiple Events with the Arrow tool, do one of the following:
• Click outside of the range of an Event, and then drag over any other Events; a gray box
will be drawn while you drag over the target-selection area. Release the mouse button
once the box is drawn over all of the Events you wish to edit, and these Events will be
selected for editing.
• Click on any Event; then, while holding [Shift] on the keyboard, click on any other
Events to select them. This allows you to select multiple Events that are not in close
proximity to each other. All selected Events can then be edited at once.
6.2.2 Range Tool
The Range tool is used to select a range, or area, within Events. Click on the Range tool button
or press [number 2] on the keyboard to select the Range tool.
To select a range within an Event, using the Range tool, click-and-drag over the area to be
selected; a gray box will be drawn over the target selection area. Release the mouse button
when the box is drawn over the range of the Events you wish to select. The range you have
selected is now treated as a single, consolidated Event.
For instance, you can use the Range tool to select the content of several Audio Events across
multiple tracks in bar 12, and then use the Arrow tool to move that section of audio to bar 14.
Another common use of the Range tool is to quickly select and delete a range of audio within
an Event, rather than using the Split tool to make two splits, then select and delete the section
with the Arrow tool.
When you float the mouse cursor over a selected range, the Arrow tool will temporarily
appear. This makes it easy to quickly select and edit a range of Events.
To select multiple, discontiguous ranges across any Event, on any track, hold the [Shift] key
while using the Range tool. Continue to hold [Shift] and use the Arrow tool to select whole
Events. For instance, when using the Arrow tool, if you press and hold [Ctrl], you get the Range
tool. Press and hold [Ctrl] and [Shift] to select multiple ranges, then continue to hold [Shift] but
release [Ctrl]; now you have the Arrow tool and can select whole Events. All of your selections
will remain selected.
Selected ranges can be sized by floating the Range tool at the left/right edge of the selection.
You also can split a selected range at the left and right edges of the selection by choosing Split
Range from the Edit menu or by pressing [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+[Alt]+[X] after selecting a Range.
