You can also shift the clip’s contents in time, in relation to either the beginning or
end of the clip itself, by scroll-trimming.
Using Slip Editing for MIDI Clips
When Slip Editing the beginning of a MIDI clip, if you drag the start of the clip
past the beginning of a note (Note On), the entire note is lost even if it extends into
the part of the clip which remains visible. Only notes completely contained in the
slip edited clip remain.
When Slip Editing the end of a MIDI clip, if you drag the end of the clip so it covers
part of a note, the note’s duration is trimmed accordingly.
If you insert a new MIDI event which does not fall within the boundary of a slip-
edited clip, a new MIDI clip, which contains the new MIDI events, is created.

Important:
Adding controller data beyond the slip-edited boundaries of a slip-
edited clip in the Piano Roll view results in the slip-edited data being
displayed in the Piano Roll view. To avoid this, you can use the Apply
Trimming command to destructively edit the clip before adding the
controller data.
