Layouts, Templates
and Key Bindings
A layout is the current arrangement of all the views that pertain to a particular
project. The layout of each project is stored automatically as part of every project
file. In addition, you can save the current layout or load any saved layout and
apply it to the current project. You might want to create a layout so you can easily
arrange the views in a convenient size and position on the screen.
A template is a special file that is used as a pattern to create other, similar files.
You might create a template file that defines a particular musical ensemble (say, a
string quartet) or a particular studio configuration (MIDI instruments, audio
outputs, and so on). Templates make it fast and easy to create and configure new
projects.
Note that toolbars are not part of a file layout or template. The toolbar
arrangement you choose is stored automatically from session to session.
A key binding lets you associate SONAR commands with keys on your MIDI or
computer keyboard. This makes it easy for you to access specific features more
quickly and efficiently. You can even assign saved layouts to key bindings for quick
access.
