Automation Envelope Editing

Hello Folks,

Been using X1 since release and have picked up the Power! book, but I'm still a bit confused when editing automation envelopes (pan, volume).

I've run into this problem often when attempting to select a node that Sonar will end up selecting adjacent nodes or even regions. How does the selection model work in this context? Mostly, I just want to select a node (I usually have to zoom in further than I want in order to consistently get such a selection.) What triggers the region selection? What triggers (what looks like), the line selection? Is there a keyboard binding to force single node selection?

Are the other selections types occurring because I'm not quite clicking directly on the node I'm trying to select?

Thanks for your help.

    You have to click directly on the node or line segment.

    In addition, if you have a lot of nodes (usually from recording automation from a control surface), then you'll have to zoom in... there's no getting around that.

    Thanks for reading my book!
