Global Tracks

The Global Tracks section of the Key Editor and the Drum Editor Inspector allows you to show events on global tracks at the top of the editor event display, so that you can see them with MIDI events.

You can show events from global tracks, such as the tempo, signature, chord, ruler, arranger, video, marker, and transpose track, in the Key Editor and in the Drum Editor. This way, you can edit MIDI events and view the project context at the same time, without having to switch to the Project window.

Note

The Global Tracks section of the Inspector is only available if you open the Key Editor or the Drum Editor in a separate window. It is not available in the lower zone editor.
