134 Chapter 3 Arrange Window

If your selected area falls between musically relevant values, the Marquee tool’s

selection rectangle will automatically snap to the nearest musically relevant position.

The snap resolution is adjusted in accordance with the current Snap menu setting. If

you make your selection while holding Control the selection will snap to the finest

resolution possible within the chosen Snap factor. By holding down Shift, the current

Marquee selection can be altered from either the left or right side, as well as up or

down.

In the case of a Marquee selection, the Region > Set locators by Region function (and

corresponding key command) sets the locators to the Marquee selection, rather than

the whole Region.

The Crop Regions outside Marquee Selection key command removes all unselected areas

from Regions which are partly marquee-selected.

Altering the Length of Regions

Grab the Region at the bottom right corner, with the pointer or pencil tool, to move

the endpoint of the Region to the desired position. The data in Regions is never

deleted, even when they’re shortened; playback simply stops at the end of the Region.

Restore the length of the Region in the same fashion to hear the playback of events/

audio data at the end of the Region.

If Hyper Draw is enabled for the Region, you’ll need to grab above the blue area, in

order to adjust the endpoint.

The Clip Length extended Region parameter (see “Extended Region Parameter Box” on

page 146) determines whether notes sounding when the Region ends should be

abruptly cut off (on), or whether they should be played to their normal end point (off),

regardless of where the Region ends.

Multiple Selection

You can change the length of multiple Regions in the same way. The length will be

changed by the same absolute amount.

Same Absolute Length

If you want to make all selected MIDI Regions the same absolute length—even if they

had different original lengths—simply hold Option-Shift while changing the length

(just as in the Matrix Editor or the Event List).

Adjusting the Region Startpoint

You can also adjust the length of the MIDI Region by grabbing it at the bottom left

corner. It should be noted that you can never move the left corner beyond the first

event in the MIDI Region—you can never “hide” events from the beginning of the MIDI

Region. If you want to remove the start of a MIDI Region you need to cut it, and mute

or delete the new start segment (new MIDI Region).
