Cakewalk - SONAR LE Documentation

SONAR LE Documentation is based on the full version of SONAR. Some screenshots, folder paths, features and other references may differ from your installation.

Locking views

By default SONAR allows only one instance of each view, but you can lock the contents of most views, preserving the current view by forcing a new instance of the view to appear if necessary. Locking views is the only way you can have multiple instances of the same view open. Only the Track and Console views cannot be locked.

To lock/unlock a view

Do one of the following:

Click the upper left corner of a window, and choose Lock Contents from the pop-up menu.

If the view is docked in the MultiDock, right-click the view’s tab and choose Lock Contents.

Tip: A view can be locked automatically by pressing the CTRL key when opening the view.
