Parts and Events
Parts and events are the basic building blocks in Cubase.
Editing Techniques for Parts and Events
This section describes techniques for editing in the Project window. If not explicitly stated, all descriptions apply to both events and parts, even though we use the term event for convenience.
Event Movement Options
Cubase provides several methods to move events in the Project window.
Moving Events with the Object Selection Tool
You can select one or several events with the Object Selection tool and drag them to a new position.

Moving Events with the Object Selection Tool

You can select one or several events with the Object Selection tool and drag them to a new position.

Procedure

Select Object Selection .
Click the events that you want to move, and drag them to a new position.

Note
You can only drag events to tracks of the same type. If you hold down Ctrl/Cmd while dragging, you can restrict the movement either horizontally or vertically.

Result

The events are moved. If you moved several events, their relative positions are kept.

Note

To avoid accidentally moving events when you click them in the Project window, when you move an event by dragging, the response is slightly delayed. You can adjust this delay with the Drag Delay setting in the Preferences dialog (Editing page).
