7 Ardour has a global <dfn>edit mode</dfn> selector at the left of the
8 Editing toolbar, which affect how regions are moved or copied:</p>
10 <dt><kbd class="menu">Slide</kbd></dt>
11 <dd>Regions move freely. Ardour creates overlaps when necessary.</dd>
12 <dt><kbd class="menu">Lock</kbd></dt>
13 <dd>No region motion is permitted (except for "nudge").</dd>
14 <dt><kbd class="menu">Ripple</kbd></dt>
15 <dd>The effect of an edit is reflected in the regions to the "right" of the edit</dd>
17 <h2>More details about Ripple</h2>
19 Ripple Edit mode provides the following conveniences:
21 <li> Deleting a range will move later regions to compensate for the deleted time </li>
22 <li> Deleting a region will move later regions to compensate for the deleted region's length </li>
23 <li> Moving a region will move later regions to compensate for the length of the move</li>
24 <li> Inserting a new region (via dragging or via Paste) will move later regions to the right to compensate</li>
28 If <kbd class="menu">Snap To Grid</kbd> is enabled, then regions can
29 only move so that they align with locations determined by the current
30 snap settings (beats, or seconds, or other region boundaries, etc).
