Selecting Parts of a Region
You can select and edit parts of one or more regions, using either of the following:
• The Marquee tool, which looks like a crosshair
Marquee tool
• The Bar ruler marquee stripe, a thin marquee stripe shown at the top of the Bar ruler
Marquee stripe
Only the area that falls inside the marquee is selected. In other words, you can use the
Marquee tool or marquee stripe to make selections inside, or across portions of, existing
regions; your selection is determined completely by the selected marquee area. Within
the selected area, you can perform almost all Arrange editing options, including
deletions, moves, cuts, and copies.
Note: When using the Marquee tool or marquee stripe on a region, the selected area
becomes a new region once an operation is applied.
If your selected area falls between musically relevant values, the marquee selection
rectangle snaps automatically to the nearest musically relevant position. The snap
resolution is determined by the current Snap pop-up menu setting.
