The Edit History dialog allows you to undo or redo several actions in 
one go, by moving the divider between the Undo stack and the Redo 
stack (in essence, moving actions from the Undo stack to the Redo 
stack, or vice versa):
1.Click on the divider line and drag it up or down.
Drag up to redo actions, drag down to undo them.
In this case, three more actions will be undone (and moved to the Redo stack).
•You can also click directly between two items in the list, instantly mov-
ing the divider line.
•When you move the divider line by dragging or clicking, the actions 
are immediately undone or redone.
The changes are reflected in all open Nuendo windows.
2.When you’re finished, click OK to close the dialog.
The Undo and Redo stacks are cleared when you close a project.

The main windows in Nuendo
The Project window
The Project window is the main window in Nuendo. This provides you 
with a graphic overview of the project, allowing you to navigate and 
perform large scale editing. The Project window is divided vertically 
into tracks and has a time line going from left to right. Each project has 
one Project window.
The Track list with 
various track types.The project cursor.
The area with various 
track settings to the left 
is called the Inspector.The area to the right in the Project win-
dow is called the event display. This is 
where you view and edit audio and 
MIDI events, automation curves, etc.

The Project Browser
The Project Browser provides a list based representation of the project. 
This allows you to view and edit all events on all tracks by using regular 
value editing in a list.
The Transport panel
The Transport panel features transport controls, much like those found 
on a conventional tape recorder. It can also be used for locating Marker 
positions, setting tempo and time signature, etc.
•Note that you can customize the appearance of the Transport panel!
You can remove controls that you don’t need to use or even change the positions of 
the different sections on the panel. This is described in the Customizing chapter in the 
Operation Manual.

at any point.

The Audio Part Editor
The Audio Part editor allows you to edit the contents of an audio part, 
i.e. the individual events within the part. The editing you can do here is 
basically the same as when editing audio events directly in the Project 
window, but you have additional features for auditioning (editor solo, 
play and loop) and the option to place different events on different 
lanes, making it easier to discern and edit the events. Note that you 
can select several parts (on the same or different tracks) and open 
them together in the Audio Part editor.

The MIDI editors
Editing MIDI data is done using the MIDI editors. The following editors 
are available:
Key Editor
The Key Editor shows the contents of one or several MIDI parts. The 
MIDI notes are represented by “boxes”, whose vertical position corre-
sponds to their pitch.
This box represents a MIDI note.
This section is called the controller display. It shows “continuous” MIDI events (such as 
controllers) or as in this figure, the velocity values of notes.

In-Place editing
The In-Place editing function allows you to edit events and parts directly 
in the Project window, in context with other tracks. It is very similar to 
the Key editor.
Score Editor
The Score Editor shows MIDI notes as a musical score and comes 
with advanced tools and functions for notation, layout and printing.
Full Score editing is described in the separate pdf document “Score Lay-
out and Printing”. This can be accessed vie the Help menu in the program.
