of edit operations to edited sequences. If not, remove the X
from the box.
Scissors
Now, let’s cut the sequence we just copied in half, using the
scissors tool. By doing this, we will then be able to transpose the
second half of the section, while leaving the first half in the
original key.
•
Rubber band select the sequences that were just copied.
•
Select the Scissors tool by clicking the scissors symbol in the
toolbox. The mouse pointer is now displayed as ascissors
within the Arrange area.
Click on one of the selected sequences, and hold the mouse
button down. If you hold the mouse button down, and move
the mouse left or right, you can adjust the exact edit position by
means of the information line. Choose the position “37 1 1 1”,
which is measure number 37. When you release the mouse
button, the sequences are cut. Now, you can transpose the
second half of the section.
Rubber band select measures 33 to 49, to select the correspond-
ing passages.
Transposition
Look at the parameter Transpose in the Sequence Parameter box.
Itcontains an aserisk (*). This means that the selected
sequences already show different transposition values. Don’t
worry, the sequence parameters always work relatively; there-
fore, the transposition differences are maintained.
•
Grab the asterisk in the transpose line, and move the mouse
upward until the value “+ 2” is displayed.
•
Release the mouse button. The passage has now been trans-
posed up a whole tone.
