Transition Options: Align Options

The Align Options settings are valid only for the Align to Beat, Align to Barline, and Align to Segment performance boundaries. See Transition Options: Performance Boundary.

When the start point of a destination component is aligned with a past boundary in the source, the Align Options setting specifies the boundary in the destination component where it is to begin playing. The available options are shown in the following table.

Align Option Effect
at any Time The transition occurs immediately.
on any Grid The transition occurs at the next grid in the destination segment.
on any Beat The transition occurs at the next beat in the destination segment.
on any Barline The transition occurs at the next measure in the destination segment.

This boundary is used only if no enter switch point is present in the part of the destination component that lies in the future. If an enter switch point is available, the Align Options setting is ignored and the component starts at the switch point. For more information on switch points, see Marker Track.
