Moving Automation Events
Moving Single Automation Events
To move a selected automation event, click it and drag to the left or to the right.
To restrict the direction to horizontal or vertical movement, press Ctrl/Cmd and drag.
NoteSnap is taken into account when you move automation curves horizontally. To turn it off temporarily, hold down Ctrl/Cmd and any other modifier, and drag.
Moving Multiple Automation Events
To move a selection of automation events, click inside the selection rectangle and drag to the left or to the right.
If you made a continuous selection of automation events, events at the destination range are overwritten. However, if you move the same selection range past already existing events, they appear again. If a selection range contains automation events that are deselected, dragging is restricted. You cannot move this selection past existing events.
To copy a continuous selection of automation events, click inside the selection rectangle, hold down Alt, and drag to the left or to the right.
If you press Esc while dragging the selection rectangle, the selection jumps back to its original position.
