•  Moving the Arrow Tool over a pitch contour 

object anchor point (whether 

that point is currently selected or 

not) causes the cursor to change 

into the anchor point cursor (four 

diagonal arrows). Clicking on an 

anchor point with the anchor point 

cursor deselects all other objects 

and anchor points and selects 

that anchor point so that it can be 

dragged. Dragging an anchor point 

stretches or compresses the pitch 

contour object relative to the nearest 

unselected anchor point(s). 

•  The extent to which you can drag selected 

objects is constrained by the position of 

neighboring unselected objects. 

•  In some host applications, holding down 

the Option/Alt key and then clicking 

to drag will restrict the cursor to 

vertical movements only (the cursor 

will change to indicate this state). 

The effect of this is to allow you 

to modify the pitch contour while 

preserving the object’s location in 

time. This is particularly handy after 

using the “Make Curve” button, 

discussed above. 

•  Clicking on the background of the Pitch 

Graph deselects all selected objects. 

ADDING AND DELETING ANCHOR POINTS 

•  Moving the Arrow Tool over an existing 

line segment and double-clicking will add 

an intermediate anchor point at that point. 

The cursor will change to the anchor point 

cursor and the new anchor point can then be 

dragged. 

•  Moving the Arrow Tool over an existing 

anchor point (except for end points) and 

double-clicking will remove that anchor 

point and cause a straight line to be drawn 

between the now adjacent anchor points. 

•  The Arrow Tool will not add or delete anchor 

points on curves, only on lines created with 

the Line Tool. 

While the above may seem a bit mind-

boggling on first reading, in practice it’s quite 

intuitive. Spend a minute or two playing with 

the Arrow Tool and all will become clear. 

NOTE:

 If, while the Arrow Tool is 

selected, you move the cursor onto 

the Envelope Graph Display, it will 

temporarily change to the Magnifying Glass 

Tool, allowing you to quickly and easily move to 

any other point in your audio and then resume 

editing without needing to manually change 

tools. 

Scissors Tool () 

Moving the Scissors Tool over an 

existing curve or line segment and 

clicking will break the line segment 

or curve in two at the point clicked. Although 

it will look like there is only one anchor point 

created at the break point, there are actually 

two (one for each of the two newly created 

line or curve segments). Simply use the Arrow 

Tool to move the top anchor point to reveal the 

other one. 

NOTE:

 If, while the Scissors Tool is 

selected, you move the cursor onto 

the Envelope Graph Display, it will 

temporarily change to the Magnifying Glass 

Tool, allowing you to quickly and easily move to 

any other point in your audio and then resume 

editing without needing to manually change 

tools. 

Magnifying Glass (5) 

In the Pitch Graph, use the 

Magnifying Glass to click and drag 

a box around an area of interest. 

Dragging off the Pitch Graph automatically 

scrolls the graph. When you release the 

mouse button, the scale and position of the 

Pitch Graph will be changed to display the area 

enclosed by the box. 
When the Magnifying Glass cursor is 

displaying the default “+”, clicking the 

Magnifying Glass anywhere in the pitch display 

will increase the display’s horizontal and 

vertical zoom factors one step (if possible). 
Pressing Option(Mac)/Alt(PC) will cause the 

cursor to change to “-”. In this state, clicking 

anywhere in the pitch display will decrease the 

display’s horizontal and vertical zoom factors 

one step (if possible).
