Flatten Options & Preferences

The flatten options allow you to define what happens when you flatten the arranger track.

Note

Flattening the arranger chain may remove events and parts from the project. Only use Flatten when you are sure that you do not want to edit the arranger track/chain any more. If in doubt, save a copy of the project before flattening the arranger chain.

  • To show the flatten options, open the Arranger Editor, and click Flatten (with Options & Preferences).

In the Source section, you can specify which arranger chains are flattened.

Current Chain

Flattens the current chain only.

Checked Chains

Opens a list of the available arranger chains where you can activate the arranger tracks that you want to flatten.

All Chains

Flattens all arranger chains of the current project.

The Destination section allows you to choose where the result of the flattening is saved.

Current Project

This is only available if Source is set to Current Chain. Activate this option to save the flattened chain in the current project.

New Project

Allows you to flatten one or more chains in a new project with the following naming options:

  • Append Chain Name

    Appends the chain names to the project name.

  • Use Chain Name

    Names the new projects after the current arranger chains.

  • Add Number

    Names the new projects after the old ones and adds a number.

The Options section contains further settings.

Keep Arranger Track

Keeps the arranger track after flattening. Activate Rename Arranger Events to append numbers to the events.

Make Real Event Copies

Allows you to create real copies of the arranger track instead of shared copies.

Don‘t Split Events

Excludes MIDI notes that start before or are longer than the arranger event. Only MIDI notes that begin and end inside the arranger event are taken into account.

Open New Projects

Creates a new project for every flattened arranger chain. If you activate Cascade New Projects, the opened projects are cascaded.
