Renaming and coloring Objects

Object name

Each object has a name. By default, this corresponds to the filename of the imported or recorded file. It is displayed by default at the bottom of the object.

To change the name, use menu Object > Object name/color > Object name…, the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + N or the Object editor.

Object Colors

Each object can be assigned a foreground color (coloring of the waveform) and a background color.

You have the following options in doing so:

• If no color is explicitly assigned to the objects, the default colors are used.

• The background color of selected objects always corresponds to the default color defined for it.

• Use menu Object > Object name/color > Object background color… or Object foreground color… to explicitly assign colors.

• Set both colors by clicking objects in Color mouse mode.

• If you set a track color (Track Head or Track Properties dialog), the foreground and background color of all objects on that track will also be set to that color.

• Set the background color in the object editor.
