Dragging Bar|Beat Markers
Bar|Beat Markers can be dragged to new locations so they can align with audio clips that have been moved, or so that they can align to a slightly different point within an audio clip. This results in neighboring MIDI data being adjusted to align with the new tempo map.
Because Bar|Beat Markers are sample-based and tempo events are tick-based, they behave differently when you drag them in the Tempo ruler.
When dragging a Bar|Beat Marker:
• Its BPM value is recalculated along with the Bar|Beat Marker to its immediate left. Bar|Beat Markers to the right of the dragged marker remain unchanged.
• Its bar and beat location is dragged with the Bar|Beat Marker. If the Bar|Beat Marker was originally placed at 3|1|000, it remains there (unless it is edited).
• Its sample and SMPTE locations change, as calculated for by the new tempo for the Bar|Beat Marker.
• Neighboring MIDI events, along with the Bars|Beats ruler, shrink or expand as necessary to adjust for the new tempo.
When dragging a tempo event:
• The tempo event is placed at a new bar and beat location. The sample and SMPTE locations for the event are updated as well.
• The BPM value for the dragged tempo event remains constant, as do any other tempo events in the project.
• Neighboring MIDI events and audio clips on tick-based tracks, along with the ruler, shrink or expand as necessary to adjust for the new tempo location.
