How to move overlapping audio to front/to back using right mouse and modifier keys?

Cubase

I’m on Cubase 15 Pro on Windows 11. I’m pretty sure in previous versions of Cubase, if I had overlapping audio on a track (e.g. samples dropped over each other) I could right click on one of the audio clips, whilst holding control, which would open the menu rather than toolbar, and there would be, at the top, a submenu to move the event to the front or to the back.

I can’t for the life of me find out how to move events front/back now, except for a horrific tiny triangle at the bottom of each event, that is both fiddly and also not visible on some of the overlapping events (which defeats the point of it!).

Is there a way to reenable the simple right click, move submenu and arrange my clips in the order I want?

Hi,

You can change the behaviour in the Preferences > Editing > Tools > Show Toolbox on Right-Click.

If this option is enabled (default settings), you get the menu when Ctrl + Click. If this option is disabled, you get the menu when Right-Click.

Once you get the menu, go to: To Front > and select the Audio Event, you want to move to front.

Thanks for that. Seems it was a glitch; today I had that back at the top of my menu -— so all solved by the ol’ shut down and restart trick!
