You can select all parts/events in the selected audio track by using menu Edit (or Right click, when your Popup Toolbox on right Click is off, in the Preferences), choose Select > All on Seleced Track. Then hold Ctrl/Cmd and click the part/event, which you don’t want to select, for un-selecting this. Done.
If you have just one track, you can use Select > Invert.
That doesnt really do the trick for me. what i want to do is to be free from clicking a million times to select/de-select every other part. What i am looking for, would be something like holding down a key, and double clicking a part on a track, and then every other part would be selected. A fast method for this is what i am after.
What exactly are you trying to do? It sounds like a bit of a one-off kind of function - nothing a music software designer could anticipate I think… You might check out the Project Logical Editor for this though, could work.
I yet have to look at the Logical editor for my little project here. But i am really a noob when it comes to that kind of programming :S
I am cutting out the bassline in my track, so when ever there is a kick drum, the bassline will have a lowcut filter applied at 120hz so the bass sits nice and tight. So instead of selecting every other part of the basslines audio track manually, i want to be able to do it in as few clicks as possible since i use this feature for all my tracks constantly! :=)
Copy bass to another track, high cut bass from 120 Hz… Invert bass track.
Use a side chained gate to the kik on the inverted bass track. mix inverted sidechained basstrack with original bass track till desired lowend reduction is achieved.
Because the “Idea” I sketched out relies on cancellation of a heavily EQ’d Part against it’s anti-twin and I would have thought that the less phase distortion introduced on the EQ’d part the better the cancellation would be?
If you just want to select all but one part on a track or tracks:
Select the track - then select all on selected tracks (from edit menu or key command - mine is control S) then deselect part(s) by holding shift key and clicking on parts to deselect.

Well, TBH, when I came to your post, HFC, I, too, like thinkingcap, thought you probably hadn’t actually read the ten previous brief posts. That’s because someone else had already made (in effect) the same suggestion, and it wasn’t suitable; IMHO it’s natural to suppose someone who HAD read the earlier posts probably wouldn’t have repeated an unsuitable suggestion.
(BTW, “every other” seems to have caused confusion, above.)
Unfortunately, not possible for Parts (via the Project Logical Editor), although the Logical Editor can (kinda) achieve this for note events inside a MIDI Editor (using “Last Event”).
Upper Section…
(Optional) Position___Inside Cycle___…___and
Type is___Equal___Note___and
Last Event___Equal___MIDI Status___144/Note___and
Last Event___Every Other Event___Eventcounter___2** (might show “D-2”… doesn’t matter )
Lower Section… leave blank.
Function = “Select”.
**You can set the eventcounter to other values, for different results…e.g. “3” will select every 3rd note.

Well - this is possible if you use my Tag System idea
