To insert a Stinger using drag and drop from the Project Explorer:

1. Load a music object into the Property Editor and switch to the Stingers tab.

2. From the Game Syncs tab of the Project Explorer, drag a Trigger to the Stingers list.

   A Stinger is automatically created using the Trigger you dragged from the Project Explorer. By default, the Trigger is not associated with any Music Segment (Nothing).

3. To assign a Music Segment to this Trigger, switch to the Audio tab of the Project Explorer, and then drag the Music Segment to the Segment to Play column.

   This Music Segment replaces the “Nothing” option that is added by default, and is now associated with the Trigger.

4. In the Play At column, define when you want the segment to play by selecting one of the following options:

   • Immediate - Change occurs immediately. If a look-ahead time has been defined for a track, then this time must elapse before the Stinger can play.

   • Next Grid - Stinger plays at the next grid. The grid is an arbitrary frequency by which music objects can be virtually partitioned.

   • Next Bar - Stinger plays at the next bar.

   • Next Beat - Stinger plays at the next beat.

   • Next Cue - Stinger plays at the next cue. The next cue could be an Entry, Exit, or custom cue.

   • Next Custom Cue - Stinger plays at the next custom cue.

   • Entry Cue - Stinger plays at the Entry cue.

   • Exit Cue - Stinger plays at the Exit cue.

5. Repeat steps 2-4 to continue adding Stingers as needed.
