Working with Clips

Using the various tools for clips in the Music Segment Editor, you can edit your clips easily along a timeline. You can move clips from one track to another by dragging them up or down and overlap one clip over another. You can make a clip shorter by dragging one of its handles inwards, or extend it by dragging the handle outwards. When you extend a clip, it repeats itself. Each repeat is called a loop.

The following table lists the various clip tools and indicators you will use when working with clips in the Music Segment Editor.
