Changing start and end times for arranger sections

[Patrick Azzarello]

Arranger seems like a great feature - especially when wanting to move multiple tracks.

However, in trying to use Arranger, I'm finding it a bit difficult to use without the ability to enter specific start and stop points for each arranger section.

Here's an example: 

Live Band Recording (rehearsal) has a bunch of songs in it.

Step 1: I create arranger sections for each song. Because it's not sync'd to measure lines, it's hard to find the right start / stop points . I've used Markers to some extend and this has helped, but not completely.

Step 2: We  have segues between many of the songs. In some cases the band (like most bands) goes through fits and spurts , starting and stopping to get the segues right. I now want to adjust the and add additional Arranger sections, and then remove the "stops & starts" to be able to use the Arranger sections to merge them together.

Is the only way to do this really to use Markers? Any other ideas?

Switch Snap off.

The problem isn't that it's snapping to bar lines. It's that I can't figure out how to adjust the length of the arranger section once I've created it. I did figure out how to adjust the start of the arranger section, but not the end.

You can change the size of the Arranger section itself by dragging either end with the mouse.
