342 Chapter 8 Global Tracks

Handling Signature Changes

Events on the Signature track can be selected, moved, deleted, and copied (drag them

while pressing Option or use the standard Copy and Paste commands). Multiple

selections are possible, even in conjunction with Regions, which is very useful when

complete parts of a song, containing signature changes, are to be copied. In this

situation, the Edit > Select Inside Locators option can be helpful. Note that the Signature

track must be visible and must not be protected, in order to select and copy signatures.

If you double-click a signature in this track, a dialog box opens, allowing you to edit the

signature.

Shift–double-clicking in the Signature track opens the Signature/Key Change List, where

time and key signatures are shown in a list style editor, along with other global Score

symbols such as repeat signs, double bar lines and so on.

Cutting Bars

You can use the Scissors tool in the Signature track to cut bars. As an example; to divide

one 5/4 measure into a 3/4 and a 2/4 measure by cutting at the fourth beat of the 5/4

bar.

If you make a cut in the middle of a bar in a section where the time signature doesn’t

change, two corresponding shorter measures will be inserted, with the original time

signature resuming after the cut.

Likewise, it is also possible to merge two subsequent measures into one longer

measure by using the Glue tool in the Signature track.

Chord Track

The Chord track contains chord symbols. These can originate from different sources,

and methods of creation:

• Use the Pencil tool at the desired position in the Chord track. A dialog window will

open, allowing you to define the chord symbol.

• Use the Analysis function for MIDI Regions: Select the desired MIDI Region

(preferably one containing complete chords) and click the Analyze button in the

Chord Track List. The MIDI Region will be analyzed, with the resulting chords

appearing in the Chord track. This also works for several subsequent Regions.

Alternatively, you can drag the desired Regions onto the Chord track.
