Selecting events with the mouseClosed

To select an event, click it with the Event tool . To deselect an event, hold Ctrl while clicking it.

To select multiple nonadjacent events, hold the Ctrl key and click each event you want to select.

To select multiple adjacent events, hold the Shift key and click the first and last event you want to select. All events between the first and last selected events are also selected.

Double-click an event to select it and adjust the loop bar to the length of the event.

TIP You can drag the top and bottom edges of events if you want to use only a subset of the channels in a multichannel file. This method is also useful for duplicating or rearranging channels without performing channel conversion, which always processes the entire file:

You can quickly restore contiguous channels by dragging the event edge back.
