The Takes Menu allows you to control the layering of clips. During recording or editing, clips are often placed on
top of others, or have sections overlapping. You can use the Takes Menu to bring any clip to the top of the "stack"
of clips at any point.
In all edit modes, the display at the top of the screen shows the names of clips that are layered at the current
timecode position on the current track. As soon as you enter the Takes menu, you may use the Jogger Wheel or the
+ and - keys to scroll through the layers that are listed. Pressing the "pop" Soft Key lifts the currently highlighted
clip to the top of the stack.
The action of popping is equivalent to cutting and pasting the clip.
After popping a clip to the top of the stack, the Takes Menu disappears, returning you to the mode that was previ-
ously selected.

Notes on Layering of Clips
1.
Layering in an Prodigy Editor Project is done from the very first clip that is created in the project. Each clip
is given a new layer number when it is created, with the most recent clip holding the highest number in the
project.
2.
When a clip is cut or erased, its layer becomes vacant, and is never filled again. If that clip is later pasted
from the clipboard to a track, it is regarded as a new clip, and so it takes the highest layer number thus far
assigned. That is why a pasted clip always goes "on top" of other clips at the same position.
3.
If you wish to move a clip without changing its layer number, use the SLIP command in the GRAB menu.
This only has the effect of changing the timecode sync of the clip. If you slip a clip to the same location as
another clip, the one with the highest layer number will appear on top.
