 <h2>Adding tracks</h2>

-<p>Via right-click menu. FIXME</p>
+<p>
+       It's possible to add tracks in the <dfn>Cue</dfn> window the usual way,
+       either by double-clicking on the free space in the canvas or
+       by choosing the <kbd class="menu">Track &gt; Add Track, Bus, or VCA</kbd>
+       menu item. The important part is to enable the
+       <kbd class="option">Show on Cue Page</kbd> checkbox in the newly
+       opened dialog.
+</p>
 
-<p>Via Clip Properties box. FIXME</p>
+<p>
+       Alternatively, it's possible to drop an existing audio or MIDI file into
+       the empty part of the canvas to automatically create the cue track
+       and fill the first empty trigger slot with it.
+</p>
 
-<p>From the Clips library. FIXME</p>
+<p>
+       Trigger slots not only work as a drag-and-drop target, they also
+       work as a drag-and-drop sources. It's possible to drag the contents
+       of an existing trigger slot into the empty part of the canvas to create
+       a new track and fill the first slot with the contents of the original
+       slot. It's also possible to drag and drop the contents of one slot into
+       another in case you want to use the same clip with some variations
+       (e.g. a custom follow length).

-<p>General settings. FIXME</p>

+       There are several ways to load a clip into a trigger slot:
+</p>
 
-<p>Audio-specific settings. FIXME</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+       From right click menu: right-click over a trigger slot, choose
+       <kbd class="menu">Load</kbd>, select an audio or a MIDI file.
+</li>
+<li>
+       From <dfn>Clip Properties</dfn> box: click the
+       <kbd class="button">Load</kbd> button, select an audio or a MIDI file.
+</li>
+<li>
+       From the <dfn>Clips</dfn> library: choose an audio or a MIDI file,
+       listen to it before adding, then pick, drag towards the grid and drop
+       into a trigger slot.
+</li>
+<li>
+       From the <dfn>Regions</dfn> list: choose a region, drag it towards
+       the grid and drop it into a trigger slot.
+</li>
+<li>
+       From the timeline: select a region, right-click, choose
+       <kbd class="menu">{Region Name} > Bounce (with processing)</kbd> or
+       <kbd class="menu">{Region Name} > Bounce (without processing)</kbd>,
+       then enable the <kbd class="option">Bounce to Trigger Slot</kbd> checkbox
+       and choose the cue.
+</li>
+</ul>
 
-<p>MIDI-specific settings. FIXME</p>
\ No newline at end of file
+<p>
+       The type of data must match the type of tracks a clip is being inserted to.
+       E.g. it's impossible to place a MIDI clip into a trigger slot of an audio
+       track.
