● When you delete a Tempo or Time Signature Event, you actually remove a
change
in Tempo/Time Signature. Since you remove the change, the previous
Tempo or Time Signature will remain, until the next Event.
You can not delete the first Tempo or Time Signature Event.
Repeating Events
The Repeat function on the pop-up Do menu can be used to block-duplicate a
number of Events one or more times. It operates on all Events, Tempo changes,
Time Signature changes and Hitpoints at the same time.
1. Set up the Left and Right Locator (on the Transport bar) to encompass the
section you want to repeat.
2. Set the Song Position to where you want the first block of Events to ap-
pear (you can click on the Time or Meter Rulers to do this).
3. Select Repeat from the pop-up Do menu.
4. In the dialog box that appears, set the number of times you want the
block repeated.
5. Click OK.
The copies will now appear. They are lined up "edge to edge", starting at the
Song Position.
Creating Accelerandi and Ritardandi
The Line tool in the Toolbox (see page 392) can be used to create continuous tempo
changes, accelerandi and ritardandi (deaccelerandi). The Line tool is described in
detail in the chapters describing the MIDI editors.
• To fit
existing
Events under the line (to create a ramp), position the
mouse, press the mouse button and drag to create a line. Release the
mouse.
• To create new Events, hold down [Alt] before pressing the mouse button.
New Events that fit "under the line" are created, spaced according to the
Snap value.
Please note that if you have the display switched to Time Base (see page 390) the
ramp will appear "curved" since the meter scale is compacted/expanded. If this is
confusing, switch over to meter base.
