Deleting Measures or Time from One or More Tracks
There are two methods for deleting time or measures:
• If there is any audio or MIDI data in the area you want to delete, you can use
the Edit-Delete command to delete the area that you select. Portions of MIDI
clips may have no data in them: they have boundaries but no dark lines
inside—if that’s the case, use the following method.
• If there is no data in the area you want to delete, you can simply drag any clips
that come after the empty area to their proper destinations. You can also use
this method if there is data in the area you want to delete—you just have to
choose whether you want to replace the data in the deleted area, blend it with
the data you’re moving, or slide it over to make room.
To delete time when there is audio or MIDI data in the area you want to delete:
1. In the Track view, select the track(s) you want to delete measures or time from
by doing one of the following:
• Select a single track by clicking the track number.
• Select multiple tracks by Ctrl-clicking the track numbers.
2. Set the Snap to Grid value to the unit of time you want to delete. For example,
if you want to delete whole measures, set the Snap to Grid value to a whole
measure.
3. In the Clips pane, select the measures or time you want to delete by dragging
in the Time Ruler located just above the first track.
4. Select Edit-Delete.
The Delete dialog box appears.
5. Click the following checkboxes:
•Events in Tracks
• Delete Hole—if you want the data that comes after the hole to retain its
same placement in a measure, check the Shift by Whole Measures
option.
6. Click any of the other options you want to delete.
7. Click OK.
SONAR deletes the time or measures you selected.
