section of the Inspector. Click on the small arrow at the top right of the

for locking the track (see page 140) and two settings for how the 
video thumbnails are shown: Show Frame Numbers and Snap 
Thumbnails (see page 619).

FX channel folder tracks
FX channel tracks are automatically placed in a special folder, for eas-
ier management. When this folder track is selected, the Inspector 
shows the folder and the FX channels it contains. You can click one of 
the FX channels shown in the folder to have the Inspector show the 
settings for that FX channel – this way you don’t have to “open” a 
folder track to access the settings for the FX channels in it.

Editing Transpose and Velocity for MIDI parts
When one or several MIDI parts are selected, the info line contains 
Transpose and Velocity fields.
•Adjusting the Transpose field transposes the selected parts in semi-
tone steps.
Note that this transposition doesn’t change the actual notes in the part – it’s just a 
“play parameter”, affecting the notes on playback. The transposition you specify for a 
part on the info line is added to the transposition set for the whole...

The ruler
The ruler at the top of the event display shows the timeline. Initially, the 
Project window ruler uses the display format specified in the Project 
Setup dialog (see page 111), as do all other rulers and position dis-
plays in the project. However, you can select an independent display 
format for the ruler by clicking the arrow button to the right of it and 
selecting an option from the pop-up menu that appears (you can also 
bring up this pop-up menu by...

in the track list and select an option from the pop-up menu.

display ruler, as well as rulers and position displays in other windows. 
This means that:
• Ruler tracks can all have independent display formats.
• Ruler tracks are not affected by the display format setting in...
