Dividing Groups
You can divide a Group into two by clicking with the Pencil tool at the desired
position and dragging to the end of the Group.
Actually, this is just a consequence of the fact that Groups cannot overlap.
As soon as you create a Group that overlaps another Group, the other Group
is automatically resized. For example, if you were to draw a small Group
within a larger Group, you would end up with three Groups:
Tip: Splitting Groups on several Tracks
If you have Groups on several tracks and want to split these at the same po-
sition, you can use the following method:
1. Set both the Left and the Right Locator to the desired split position.
2. Select “Insert Bars Between Locators” from the Edit menu.
The Groups are split.
Combining Groups
There are two main ways to combine two or more Groups into one:
By using the Group command
1. Select the first and the last Group that you want to combine.
All Groups in between these will be included as well.
2. Select Group from the Edit menu.
You will now have one larger Group.
By Resizing
1. Click the size handle of the first Group and drag to the right.
2. Release the mouse button at the end of the last Group.
All Groups in between are combined to one larger Group.
Find Identical Groups
This command on the Edit menu helps you locate all Groups with the same
contents:
1. Select a Group.
2. Select “Find Identical Groups” from the Edit menu.
All Groups with the same contents are selected in the Arrange View.
Ungrouping
There are two ways to dissolve a Group:
➜ Select it and select Ungroup from the Edit menu or sequencer con-
text menu,
or
➜ Click on the Group size handle and drag it all the way to the left.
Neither of these methods affect the events in the Group, they just remove the
Grouping.
Editing with Groups
You can work with Groups much like you edit selected events in the Arrange
view:
➜ To move a Group, click on it and drag it to a new position, taking the
Snap value into account.
If you move the Group so that it partially overlaps another Group, the
other Group will automatically be resized. If the moved Group overlaps
the other Group completely, you will get one large Group containing the
events from both.
➜ To duplicate a Group, hold down [Option] (Mac) or [Ctrl] (Windows)
and proceed as when moving.
This duplicates the Group and all its contents. You can also use Copy
and Paste for this, following the same rules as for selected events.
➜ To delete a Group, select it and press [Delete], [Backspace] or se-
lect Delete from the Edit menu.
This deletes the Group and all its contents.
