172 Chapter 3 Arrange Window
Editing Instrument Names
You can edit the Instrument/Audio Object name by Option–double-clicking directly in
the track list. You can also use the Instrument Parameter box.
Editing Track Names
You can edit track names by Command–double-clicking directly into the track list—
even if it’s only the instrument name that is shown.
Region Display
Contents Visible in MIDI Regions
If you vertically zoom the display, you will be able to see the actual events contained
within MIDI Regions.
MIDI Regions show notes or controller events, folders show the Regions they contain,
and aliases show the name and position of the original.
The View > Region Content option allows you to see a display of contents, at large
enough zoom settings. If you uncheck this option, the contents will not be displayed,
no matter what the zoom setting.
Region Colors
Newly recorded Regions initially adopt the color of the track instrument. You can
change the color of a Region via the local View > Colors menu, which opens a color
palette. A double-click on a color field opens the system color palette, allowing you to
create custom colors. Color edits are stored in the Preferences file and are available for
all songs.
After copying Regions between tracks, you could find the Arrange area will start to
resemble a patchwork quilt. In this situation, the Region > Instrument Colors To
Regionsfunction replaces the colors of all selected Regions with the colors of the
Instruments playing these Regions. Instrument colors can be set in the Environment.
Altering the Background of the Arrange
Use the View > Grid function to switch on/off a track/bar number grid in the arrange
areas background.
Plain Background toggles the background between a plain background and a high
resolution pattern. You can choose both a background color for the plain background
and a high resolution pattern via Preferences > Display > Arrange.
