Chapter 8 Global Tracks 331

In the upper left corner of each Global Track name column, there is a small disclosure

triangle pointing to the right. If clicked, the track height is expanded and additional

controls become visible. A further click on the triangle reduces the track height. You

can freely adjust the horizontal borders between tracks by dragging them up or down

with the mouse.

The order of Global tracks can be reconfigured by grabbing any of them with the

mouse in the track list (anywhere except the control elements), and dragging them up

or down. The display order of Global tracks is saved independently for each window.

If the Track Protect buttons are visible (Menu View > Track Protect Buttons), any of the

Global tracks can be protected by clicking on its Protect button, which will turn blue.

This will prevent the track from being edited unintentionally.

How to Create, Move, Copy, and Delete Global Events

The data on most Global tracks are called global events (except on the Video and Beat

Mapping tracks, to which the following descriptions do not apply).

Creating Global Events

To create a global event (a Marker or a tempo change, for example), use the Pencil tool

and click at the desired position in the track. (If you haven’t changed the default tool

assignments, this is done by clicking while holding the Command key). Watch the help

tag while holding down the mouse button: It displays the exact position and value (if

applicable) of the event to be inserted, until the mouse button is released.

Selecting and Moving Global Events

Global events are selected with a simple click, and are moved and/or changed by

dragging them with the mouse. We recommend that you keep an eye on the help tag

while doing so. Multiple selection is achieved by Shift-clicking on the desired events.

This can even be done in combination with the selection of Regions on Arrange tracks.

To select several subsequent events on the same Global track, you can use the rubber

band selection method, while holding the Control key.

To select all events on a particular Global track, click in the desired Track List.

If menu or key commands for multiple selections are made in the Arrange window

(such as Select All, Toggle Selection, Select Inside Locators), they will also apply to global

events on all visible Global tracks. This can be useful for copying or moving an entire

song section, inclusive of all signature and tempo changes, for example.
