Build an arrangement

Create, place, resize, split, duplicate, and organize clips and tracks in song context.

The arrangement shows the project across time. Tracks form lanes; MIDI and audio clips hold the musical material placed on those lanes.

Create material

Add a MIDI or audio track, then create an empty clip, import material, record, paste an existing clip, or ask Sympose to build a part. New clips belong to one track and have their own name and time range.

Move and resize clips

• Drag a clip to move it in time or to a compatible track.
• Resize its start or end to change the visible arrangement region.
• Trim an audio clip without rewriting the underlying recorded asset.
• Use the selected audio clip’s fade handles to shape its edges. Adjacent clips with available source handles expose a distinct shared-boundary control for a centered crossfade.
• Use the grid when you want beat-aligned placement; use the Clip inspector for exact source-time values in seconds.

Sympose prevents unsupported overlaps and reports placement conflicts instead of discarding material.

Duplicate and split

Duplicate a clip to create a new independent arrangement region. Split at the playhead or chosen position when one region needs separate placement or editing.

For MIDI, duplicated and split clips have independent editable content. Audio regions may share the same immutable source asset while keeping independent placement and trim state.

Rename and organize

Use distinct track names within a project and distinct clip names within each track. Clear names make agent targeting and change review easier.

Tracks can also be reordered, duplicated, muted, soloed, armed, or deleted. Destructive actions require confirmation or approved-plan authority.

Work with Sympose

Describe both scope and constraint:

Duplicate the first chorus into the final section, shorten the transition by two bars, and leave the vocal track unchanged.

Review the resulting run in the arrangement, then refine or revert it like any other agent work.

Open a MIDI clip to edit notes, or continue with automation.
