Editing in Lane Display mode
When you are recording in Stacked cycle recording mode, each take 
ends up on a separate lane on the track as described on page 70 and 
page 82. However, you can also select this lane mode manually for in-
dividual tracks, and use it when editing in the Project window. This 
makes it easier to view and handle overlapping events and parts.
Audio tracks
1.Make sure the Lane Display Type button is visible in the track list.
If it is hidden, you...

•Note that there will always be an extra, empty lane at the bottom of the 
track – if you move an event there, another lane will always be added.
Depending on the number of lanes used, you may want to adjust the vertical zoom for 
the track – simply drag the track edges in the track list.
4.After rearranging the overlapping events so that you hear what you 
want, you can select all events and select “Delete Overlaps” from the 
Advanced submenu on the Audio menu.

3.You can edit the overlapping parts as usual – by cutting, deleting or 
muting sections in the Project window or by opening them in a MIDI 
editor.
In an editor, parts on different lanes will be treated just like parts on different tracks – 
you can use the part list pop-up menu to select an active part for editing, etc. 
Note that there is no playback priority between lanes on a MIDI track – all unmuted 
parts will be heard during playback.

•Double clicking on an event with the Range Selection tool creates a 
selection range encompassing the event.
If you hold down [Shift] you can double click several events in a row, and the selection 
range will expand to encompass them all. Double clicking a second time on an event 
opens it for editing in the Sample Editor.

• By using the Trim buttons on the toolbar.
The left Trim buttons will move the start of the selection range and the right buttons will 
move the end. The edges will be moved by the amount specified on the Grid pop-up.
This Trim button will move the end of the selection range to the right by 1 beat.

ment depends on the selected display...

ever, it is also possible to exclude tracks from a selection range:

Using Cut, Copy and Paste
When working with selection ranges, you can either use Cut, Copy 
and Paste on the Edit menu, or use the functions “Cut Time” and 
“Paste Time” on the Range submenu on the Edit menu. These work 
differently to their related functions on the Edit menu:
Deleting selection ranges
Again, you can either use “regular” Delete or “Delete Time”:
