Shifting Events in Time
The Track view lets you move entire clips forward or backward in time by using
drag and drop editing or by changing the start time of selected clips. The Process-
Slide command is slightly more flexible—you can use it to shift individual events
and markers (or selected events and markers) either forward or backward in time.
This has an effect that is similar to the Time+ parameter in the Track view.
However, the Process-Slide command modifies the time stored with each event,
while the Time+ parameter simply applies a temporary change during playback.
You can also use the Process-Slide command to move markers located within the
selection. If you have selected any locked markers, SONAR will ask whether they
should slide, too.
To Shift Events in Time
1. Select the events and/or markers you want to shift.
2. Choose Process-Slide to display the Slide dialog box.
3. Check the types of event you want to slide (events and/or
markers).
4. Enter the number of measures, ticks, seconds, frames or samples to slide.
Enter a negative number to shift material earlier. Note that you cannot slide
any event earlier than 1:01:000. For example, if the current selection starts at
2:01:000, you cannot slide events earlier by more than one measure.
5. Click OK when you are done.
SONAR shifts the selected events and/or markers.
Inserting Time or Measures into a Project
The Insert-Time/Measures command lets you insert any number of blank
measures, ticks, seconds, or frames into a project. You can insert the blank
measures (or other period of time) into all tracks or into one or more selected
tracks. If you insert the blank time into the entire project, all events in each
track—markers, meter and key settings, and tempo changes—are shifted
automatically by default. If you insert the blank time into one or more selected
tracks, only the events in those tracks are shifted by default. You can always
choose which types of events should be shifted.
To Insert a Single Blank Measure into a Project
1. Press Ctrl+Shift+A or select Edit-Select-None to make sure that no track or
time range is selected.
2. Set the Now time to the place where you want to insert the measure.
