How to merge two projects?
I'm working on two sub-projects that make up the same project.
One project for music and one for sound effects.
I wonder how you can integrate the two subprojects in a single project?

I believe you can though it may be a touch tedious...
If you set Sonar to be able to load more than one project (I believe that's the default but I disable that as a default here)...
Load both projects and copy/paste tracks from them into a new project (better safe than shoving one into the other)...
You may have to load any synths. I don't remember if they get copied with the associated MIDI tracks...

You don't even have to copy and paste.
To open 2 projects simultaneously you need to set Allow Sonar to open more than one project. See Preferences.
If you have 2 monitors then even easier but otherwise just open the 2 projects with the track view of both showing and click + drag the tracks from one to the other.
You may also have to set Import audio with time stamp so that the tracks align properly.

I can only get one track view to show at a time. I'm not able to "open" Sonar twice either. My box isn't checked in preferences either, as I can open as many projects as I want, but am able to only show one at a time. How do you get TWO track views showing?

Jonesey got it! ...or else use copy/paste or special-copy/paste [edit] Maybe a screeset might be helpful? [end edit]

rogeriodec.., You can select all the tracks in a project and convert all the selected tracks into one track template. Then take the 2 track templates from the respective projects and enter them into a new project.

I was assuming the track content would be included in the multi track template, but apparently I was wrong. The templates don't include the wav and midi files, but do include everything else. Importing or exporting the midi and wav files is the next challenge.

Sonar does NOT provide a simple way to import/export/copy tracks, including setting and clips, to another project.
This has been requested for years. Many other DAWs do do this correctly.
How this not been an obvious fundamental function for the past ten plus years still amazes me.
To do it:
Move a bunch of tracks to a folder, save the folder as a track template. This will transfer settings and routings.
Copy the clips in each track in the first project to the corresponding track and time in the second.

I was going to say check the box to include track content with the track template and then I realized I was thinking of another DAW  ! Can someone point me to that FR while I search for it? Thanks- -Susan

Yea. That is helpful but not complete.
Tracks:
names: yes
data/clips: yes
routing: no
effects: no
instruments: no
automation: no
Buses: no
Better to create a track template to create all tracks, buses, routing, effects, instruments, and then copy the data.
Dragging from the browser is useful because all the imported tracks will be named, and then it will be easy to select the data/clips and move to template created tracks at correct NOW time.
