Track Context Menu

Within the editor window, context-clicking ([right]{.kbd .mouse} click) on either a region or empty space within a track displays the [track context menu]{.dfn}. The context menu provides easy access to many track-level operations.

If a [region]{.dfn} is clicked, the first item in the menu is the name of the region. If a layered region is clicked, the next item in the menu is [Choose Top]{.kbd .menu}. If selected, a dialog appears that allows to change the vertical order of layers at that point. See Layering Display for more details.
