In any place in the event filter where you would normally enter a pitch string, you
can also enter the pitch by pressing a key on your MIDI keyboard. Also, you can
use the question mark in place of the octave number as a wild card. This lets the
event filter accept a single note, regardless of the octave. For example, the pitch
string C? will match a C in any octave.
Searching for an Event
The Go-Search command is used to find the next event (searching forward from
the Now time) that meets the criteria you lay out in an event filter. Once you have
found the first such event, you can find the next event that meets the criteria
using the Go-Search Again command (or by pressing F3).
To Search for an Event
1. Choose Go-Search to display the Event Filter dialog box.
2. Set up the event filter to find the events you want.
3. Click OK.
SONAR finds the next event that meets the criteria and sets the Now time to the
start time of that event. To find the next occurrence, press F3 or choose Go-Search
Again.
Selecting Events
The Edit-Select-By Filter command is used to refine a selection by applying an
event filter to an initial selection. You can use this command any number of times
to refine the selection even further. Before using this command, use any of the
selection commands and tools to create an initial set of selected event. You can use
the Edit-Select-All command to select all events in the current view.
The Track view cannot display individual selected events. As a result, the Edit-
Select-By Filter command will not necessarily change the appearance of the
Track view. SONAR applies the event filter rule, but the change is not visible.
However, once you change the selection in any way (for example, by clicking on a
track number or by clicking in the Time Ruler), the effects of the event filter are
erased. If you want to use the filter, you must choose Edit-Select-By Filter again
and click OK to use the same filter values.
Note:
The shading of a clip in the Track view indicates how many of the
events in the clip are selected. If the clip is shown in solid black, all
events in the clip are selected. If a portion of a clip is shown in
medium gray, all the events in that time range are selected. If the clip
is shown in light gray, only some of the events in the shaded time
range are selected.
