The FROM point is automatically placed at the front of the earliest data you

changes to a closed hand to show the data is ready to be dragged.
The TO point is automatically reset to the current position of the FROM

5. Drag the data to the desired location.
You see the TO flag move as you drag, as well as a light gray copy of the data to
show you where you’re dragging it. Watch the closed hand for the appearance of
any desired position cursors described on Page 244.

Using the Mouse To Trim the Front or Back of a Phrase
You can easily and quickly trim the front or back of a track phrase using your mouse—
this serves the same purpose as the TRIM IN and TRIM OUT phrase editing operations
(Page 253), though it’s much faster. By simply dragging the phrase edge you want to
trim, you can change where a phrase begins or ends.

Page 243.
