Splitting events

Click the Split button on the editing toolbar (or choose Edit | Split) to split one or more selected events at the current cursor position.

Splitting an event allows you to adjust a small part of an event or break a single event into multiple sections that you can edit independently. For example, you may want to apply an effect to a section of an event and then return the event to its original setting.

1. Position the cursor where you want to split the events, or select a range of time.

2. Select the events you want to split.

3. Click the Split button on the editing toolbar (or choose Edit | Split):

• If no events are selected, the events located at the current cursor position will be split throughout all of the tracks.

• If you create a time selection, events are split at each end of the time selection throughout all of the tracks.

• If you select events within a time selection, the selected events are split at each end of the time selection.

• Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift while clicking an event to split it. Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift and drag an event to split it at the point you click and trim the event in the direction you drag.

  TIP Holding the Shift key temporarily overrides snapping if it is enabled. Release the Shift key while dragging to snap the event to available snap points.
