[name]

The name of the object.

Displays the object's color. Clicking the icon opens the color selector.

Select a color to apply it to the object.

	Note
	Selecting the square at the far left of the color selector causes the object to inherit its parent's color. When a color has been explicitly chosen for an object, it is displayed with the palette icon and a yellow triangle in the lower-right corner, as shown.

Controls the Mute and Solo states for the object and shows the implicit mute and solo states for the object.

Muting an object silences this object for the current monitoring session. Soloing an object silences all the other objects in the project except this one.

A bold M or S indicates that the Mute or Solo state has been explicitly set for the object. A non-bold M or S with faded color indicates that the object's Mute or Solo state was implicitly set from another object's state.

Muting an object implicitly mutes the descendant objects.

Soloing an object implicitly mutes the sibling objects and implicitly solos the descendant and ancestor objects.

	Tip
	Hold the Ctrl key while clicking a solo button to exclusively solo the object for which the solo button is associated.

	Note
	Mute and Solo are designed to be used for monitoring purposes only and are not persisted in the project or stored in the SoundBanks.

Inclusion

Determines whether the element is included or excluded. When selected, the element is included. When unselected, the element is not included. By default, this applies across all platforms. Use the Link indicator (to the left of the check box) to determine or to set platform-specific customizations.

When this option is unselected, the property and behavior options in the editor become unavailable.

Default value: true

Indicates the number of elements in your project that contain direct references to the object. The icon is displayed in orange when references to the object exist, and in gray when no references exist.

Selecting the button opens the Reference View with the object's name in the References to: field.

Notes

Any additional information about the object properties.

Sets the display of the Property Editor's selected tabs. By default, there is one panel displaying only one selected tab. You can, however, click a splitter button to split the panel into two, either side by side or one on top of the other, for two different tabs. The currently selected option is highlighted with a background color.

	Note
	You cannot display the same tab in both panels. If you select the tab that is currently displayed in the other panel, then the other panel will automatically display another tab.

	Shortcuts for selecting tabs
	Press Ctrl and the number corresponding to the number of the Property Editor tab you want. For example, Ctrl+4 would select the RTPC tab if that were the fourth visible tab.

Override parent

Determines whether the Metadata plug-ins are inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy. When this option is not selected, the Metadata options are not available.

If the object is a bus or a top-level object, the Override parent option is not available.

Default value: false

Use the Link indicator (to the left of the Metadata heading) to determine or to set platform-specific customizations.

The entire list of Metadata plug-ins is linked or unlinked, not individual items in the list.

Metadata

Click the Configure Columns... shortcut (right-click) option from the column header band.

The Configure Columns Dialog opens. Specify which columns to display and their order.

Type

Name

The name of the Metadata instance. The Metadata instance can be a ShareSet or a custom instance of a ShareSet. All Metadata instances for the selected Metadata type will appear in the corresponding list.

Mode

Determines whether the Metadata instance is shared. The mode can be either:

Edit

(Name Field)

An editable text field which displays the name of the selected Metadata plug-in(s). If more than one plug-in is selected, this field is blank.

The References button displays the number of references in the project to the currently selected Metadata plug-in.

Click the button to open the Reference View loaded with all the project objects/elements that directly reference the selected Metadata plug-in.

	Note
	The button is dimmed and displays "0" when selecting multiple Metadata plug-ins. The display maximum is 999.In the uncommon circumstance of 1,000 or more references, the number will not increase but all the objects/elements will show up in the Reference view.

Click the Configure Columns... shortcut (right-click) option from the column header band.

The Configure Columns Dialog opens. Specify which columns to display and their order.

Name

The names of the properties of the currently selected Metadata plug-in(s).

	Note
	ShareSets have the Color and Inclusion properties, while custom instances do not.

Value

The values of the properties of the currently selected Metadata plug-in(s). Modifications made in this panel are applied to all plug-ins selected in the left panel that have the modified property.

When more than one selected plug-in has the same property but with different values, a dash appears in the Value column (as shown in the following figure). In this case, you can still edit the property and your changes will be applied, as usual, to all selected plug-ins that have the modified property.

Opens a search field where standard alphanumeric entries filter out unmatching elements from the view. Learn more in Using Tables.

Click the Close icon to the left of the search icon to close the search field and remove the filter.

	Note
	The searches do not include elements in collapsed nodes of the List View, Query Editor, MIDI Keymap Editor, and Reference View.
