Editing Comp clips
When showing multiple Take lanes, the parent track shows a Comp clip that is a visual
representation of all overlapping unmuted takes in the track, but no audio or MIDI data actually
exists in a Comp clip. A track can contain multiple Comp clips if there are time gaps between takes.
When you hide Take lanes, Comp clips are also hidden and the takes are shown as regular clips.
Each Comp clip has a blue unifying header bar, which allows you to select and move the takes as a
group, and the clip background color is slightly darker than regular clips.
In addition to editing individual takes, you can also perform various editing operations directly on a
Comp clip, and the edits will propagate down to the underlying takes.
