Hi Slau, Thanks for the tips!
As far as selecting / deselecting goes, it's really been a case that I'll find myself in a situation where all tracks are selected and I need to deselect several of them. I just tried Chuck's suggestion of doing command click with the mouse. (trackpad in my case) but unfortunately this did not work for me. Thank you anyway Chuck! I was hoping this would work. :) Anyway, that's the scenario… -Thoughts?… Thanks, Cara :) On Jul 7, 2013, at 11:54 AM, Slau Halatyn <[email protected]> wrote: Hi cara, While using the numeric keypad is by far the easiest way to edit the various numeric fields, if you do go the route of clicking on the field, try using a period to denote the next column in the field for beat and ticks, etc. It should really be the decimal key but perhaps the period will work. Alternatively, you might be able to get the desired result with the left/right arrows. In fact, I'm thinking that's really the way to go. Before I answer the track selection question, since there are several options, can you describe what you're trying to accomplish because that'll make a difference in the approach.
