Manuals

The Segment Menu contains commands for working with the individual segments of tracks in the current song.  For event tracks in Track View, it also has commands for working with selected and new events.

The Segment menu is available only in Mixer View and Track View.

Some of the commands are also available as buttons on the tool bar or segment bar.

Commands

Edit

Opens the Edit Segment window, the Edit Chord window or Edit Scale window, depending on which segment has the focus.  This command is active only in Mixer View, and is not needed in Track View, where segments can be edited directly in the workspace.

Key: Ctrl+E

Record

Opens the Record Segment window, the Record Chord window, or Record Scale window, depending on which segment has the focus.  With these, you can input to the song using a piano keyboard or other Midi instrument.  If no Midi Input device is selected, this command is not active.

Key: Ctrl+R

Split

Splits the selected segment (or range of segments) into multiple smaller segments.

Key: Ctrl+I

Join

Joins the selected segments into a larger segment within each track.

Key: Ctrl+J

Repeat

Converts the selected segment (or range of segments) into a repeat segment, or back to a standard segment again.

Autostyle

Converts the selected segment (or range of segments) into a autostyle segment, or back to a standard segment again.

Render

Converts the selected repeat or autostyle segment (or range of segments) into standard segments, converting all virtual events into real events which can be edited.

Tools >

Events > Properties

Events > Select All
