Nudge settings

To configure the three nudge settings, go to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Nudge or Process > Nudge > Settings.

To Nudge a Clip Left or Right

Use the following procedure to nudge a clip.

1.	Select the clip you want to nudge.

2.	Select Process > Nudge Left(1-3) from the menu to move the clip left or Process > Nudge Right(1-3) to move the clip right.

The amount the clip or note moves is determined by the settings in Edit > Preferences > Customization - Nudge.

To Nudge a Clip Up and Down

Use the following procedure to nudge a clip (in the Track view) or MIDI note (in the Piano Roll view) up or down.

1.	Select the clip or note you want to nudge.

2.	Select Process > Nudge > Up to move the clip or note up or Process > Nudge > Down to move a clip or note down.

Clips move up or down one track at a time. Notes move up or down one pitch at a time.

To Change Nudge Settings

1.	Select Process > Nudge > Settings to access nudge settings.

2.	In one of the three Nudge groups, select one of the following:

Musical Time. Select a note length setting.

Absolute Time. Select one of the following absolute time options and a number in the first field:

Absolute time setting	Description
Seconds	Whole seconds.
Milliseconds	Thousands of a second.
Frames	Number of frames. The default frame count is 30 frames per second. The number of frames varies depending on the setting in Edit > Preferences > Project - Clock.
Samples	A very small amount of time. For CD-quality audio there are 44,100 samples per second, so a value of 1 here would not move a clip by a perceptible amount.
Ticks	The number of ticks per quarter note varies depending on the setting in Edit > Preferences > Project - Clock. The default setting is 960.

Follow Snap Settings. Moves the clip or note by the current snap setting.
