Working with the Music Segment Editor timeline

The Music Segment Editor timeline is key to managing arrangements in your interactive music project. The timeline provides you with important feedback when you are working with segments, tracks, and clips.

Configuring the Music Segment Editor timeline

To optimally arrange your music, you can configure the timeline for the following:

  • Seconds - Displays the timeline in seconds. As you zoom in to this view, the timeline displays the seconds in increased increments from tenths, hundredths, and thousandths of a second.

  • Bars and Beats - Displays the timeline in bars and beats. Use this setting if you are working with musical material that must align with the musical meter. The increments on the timeline will be based on the Time Signature specified in the corresponding Property Editor.

To configure the timeline in the Music Segment Editor to seconds:

  1. Right-click on the timeline and select Seconds.

    The timeline display is re-configured to seconds.

To configure the timeline in the Music Segment Editor to bars and beats:

  1. Right-click on the timeline and select Bars and Beats.

    The timeline display is re-configured to bars and beats.

Extending and shortening Music Tracks on the timeline

When you are working with clips in the timeline you may want to adjust the length of the timeline.

To resize timeline in the Music Segment Editor:

  1. Drag the End Cursor icon to the desired position along the timeline.
