Using brackets

The bracket (parenthesis) columns let you enclose 2 or more condition lines, dividing the conditional expression into smaller units. This is only relevant when you have 3 or more condition lines and want to use the boolean Or operator.

You add brackets by clicking in the bracket columns and selecting an option. Up to triple brackets can be selected.

  • Without brackets, the conditional expressions are evaluated according to their order in the list.



Figure: Here, the Project Logical Editor will find all audio parts and events whose name contains perc as well as other parts and events (e. g. MIDI parts) whose name contains drums.

Maybe you want to find all audio parts and events that either contain the name perc or the name drums, but no other parts or events that contain the name drums? Then you need to add some brackets:



Figure: Here, all audio parts or events will be found whose name contains perc or drums.

Note

Expressions within brackets are evaluated first.

If there are several layers of brackets, these are evaluated “from the inside out”, starting with the innermost brackets.
