Moving an effect "up" or "down" in the sequencer
« on: February 20, 2016, 10:03:37 PM »
I just watched the vimeo video of the 2/18/16 tutorial.   One thing I saw Sean do that I have never been able to successfully do, is grab an effect and move it vertically in the sequencer.   I tried it again tonight and was unsuccessful.  I looked in the manual and didn't find any instructions for doing this.   Do I need to hold down shift or ctrl or something to accomplish this?   For example, I would like to move a bars effect so that it is applied to an arches group instead of just one arch...   Or vice versa.   A thousand examples here I guess...

THANKS

maybe ,y keystrokes were too fast? :)

I did a ctl-c on the effect, then a DEL, then a ctl-v on the new location.
I was not dragging an effect up and down.

Effects can only be moved vertical within a model. So, if you have a model with 10 layers, you can move up or down within this 10 layer window.

Thanks for the reminder I'd been meaning to fix this.  I just checked in a change so now you aren't restricted to one model.  I am restricting it to the visible grid.  When you hit Up or Down arrow it will find the next open row in the visible screen.  It only works for a single effect same as before.

Thanks for the replies!   I thought I was missing something really easy...  Within the same model--got it.
Info appreciated!!!
