Moving chord symbol regions

You can move chord symbol regions to different rhythmic positions after they have been input.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the chord symbol regions you want to move.
    Note

    When using the mouse, you can only move one chord symbol region at a time.

  2. Move the chord symbol regions to the right/left in any of the following ways:
    • Press Alt/Opt-Right Arrow to move them to the right.

    • Press Alt/Opt-Left Arrow to move them to the left.

    • Click and drag the chord symbol region to the right/left.

Result

The selected chord symbol regions are moved to new rhythmic positions according to the current rhythmic grid resolution.

Note

Only one chord symbol region can exist at each rhythmic position. If any part of a selected chord symbol region collides with any part of another chord symbol region as part of its move, the other chord symbol region is shortened to accommodate the one you moved.

You can undo this action and restore the previous length of the other chord symbol region. However, if you moved a chord symbol region using the mouse and it overwrote another chord symbol region completely, the other chord symbol region is permanently deleted.
