Annual Request: Copy/Split/Duplicate Parts Within Key Editor

Cubase

It should be possible to do common Part manipulation functions WITHIN the Key Editor.

Eg.

  1. it should be possible to split a Part in two whilst INSIDE the Key Editor…

  2. it should be possible to duplicate a Part in two whilst INSIDE the Key Editor…

  3. it should be possible to delete a Part in two whilst INSIDE the Key Editor (if multiple Parts are being edited)

In short, I almost NEVER want to have to leave the Key Editor.

I find myself CONSTANTLY bouncing in and out of the Key Editor (unnecessarily) to do these operations.

I just completed some editing a few minutes ago and something was bothering me. As you described, it was the constant switching in and out of the editor.

One thing that really brings this to light for me… When you edit multiple Parts in the Key Editor, it is always -very- clear which Part one is working on. The Key Editor obviously has no problem managing multiple Parts. So it shouldn’t be -that- hard for the developers to simply add the facility to split Parts -inside- the Key Editor… the code for doing the management is already in place.

It’s an interesting idea. How would you see this UI-wise?

Split:

  1. Select Scissors tool

  2. Point mouse cursor to bar/beat on the Ruler.

  3. Left click.

Et voila.

Copy/Duplicate:

  1. Move mouse cursor to the left ‘handle’ at top of Part (it has the Part’s name)

  2. Right click.

  3. A pop-down menu appears with selections: Copy/Duplicate

  4. Point mouse cursor to bar/beat on the Ruler.

  5. Right click

  6. A pop-down menu appears with selection: Paste

Et Voila.
