S
” and “
E
” markers ap-
pear at the bottom of the Slice borders to indicate the start and end point of that Slice,
respectively.

Context menu: Right-click (Mac OS X: [Ctrl]-click) anywhere in a Slice to open a context
menu with the following commands:

By default, you can adjust Slices with your mouse as follows:
▪
Click inside a Slice (i.e. anywhere between its borders) to play it back on the Cue bus (see
section
▪
Drag the borders of a Slice to adjust them. You have two possibilities:
◦
If the end point of the previous Slice and the start point of the next Slice are joined,
drag the border’s
vertical line
to move both the end point of the previous Slice and the
start point of the next Slice together, so that both Slices stay joined.
◦
Drag the little “
S
” (or “
E
”)
marker
at the bottom of the vertical line to move the start
(or end) point of a Slice independently of the end (or start) point of the previous (or
next) Slice. If you want this border to stick again with that of the previous (or next)
Slice, drag the
vertical line
(instead of the “
S
”/“
E
” marker) toward that of the previ-
ous (or next) Slice.
By moving the start and end points of Slices independently, you can create overlapping
Slices or gaps between Slices.
