Control window relationships using Link mode
When Additional Advanced Editing Options is selected in the Advanced preferences pane,
you can independently link or unlink windows (including the Tracks area, Score Editor, and Event
List) to control the relationship between what they display. For example, you could set up two
Event Lists, one showing arrange regions, and the other showing their contents, then click a
region in the first Event List to update the contents of the second one.
The Link mode options—Off, Same Level, and Content—allow you to control how information is
displayed when working with related editor windows.
Set the Link mode
m Choose View > Link, then choose one of the following:
•
Off: Unlinks the window from other windows.
•
Same Level: When selected, the editor window always displays the same contents as the
window with key focus, and updates whenever the window with key focus changes. For
example, if the Score Editor has key focus, in Same Level Link mode, the Event List displays the
same data as the Score Editor (numerically, of course).
•
Content: When selected, the editor window always shows the contents of the region selected
in the window with key focus. In this case, the display level is always one level lower that of
the top window. For example, if the Tracks area is the active window, any open MIDI editor
shows the events of the selected MIDI region. You can also use Content Link mode in one
Tracks area, to display the folder contents of another Tracks area.
The Score Editor also includes a Link button that you can use to set the Link mode, and view
the current Link mode. The Link button is purple when the Link mode is set to Same Level, and
yellow when set to Content.
