Thanks, Craig.
All the best.

I like vegetables. Thanks Craig. Good and concise coverage of a handy and useful feature.

Last time I used linked clips was way back in Sonar 7 (IIRC).
Deleting one clip would - but not always - delete SOME of the linked clips.
At the time I assumed the original clip must have been master, but which one was it now?
 
I finally got myself thoroughly muddled and never used linking again.
Now I see I probably changed clips and unintentionally unlinked them.

Powerful stuff Craig.  The last links that I used were MS Golf and the Bay Hills Club.
 
Now I begin to understand how Sonar works with links and will practice the moves.  
 
Thanks as always. 

Week 158: Wireless, Hands-Free SONAR Control
 
I recently did a Harmony Central Expert Review on the PageFlip Firefly, which is a Bluetooth wireless controller for flipping pages in scores. Wait! Don’t stop reading! You’ll soon see how this relates to SONAR.
 

 
The Firefly ($109.95) is a pedal-controlled, Bluetooth page-turner that works wirelessly (or wired, via an included USB cable) with Android, iOS, Mac, or Windows. The premise is that although it’s great that you can put sheet music and scores on a mobile device like a smart phone or tablet, as well as a computer, there’s still the issue of needing to turn pages. This requires taking your hands off your instrument and swiping the screen (or with a computer, pushing a key). I was particularly interested in PageFlip’s products because I do a lot of narration and voiceovers; printing out narration means paper rustling.
 
Because the Firefly emulates keyboard presses, the sheet music or text app needs to respond to page up/page down, arrow left/right, arrow up/down, mouse click left/right, or space/enter. But this also means you can control quite a few SONAR functions out of the box via the two noiseless, clickless footswitches. More importantly, PageFlip’s free software app for 64-bit Windows (sorry, 32-bit need not apply; however, note that it’s also available for MacOS 10.9+) lets you program custom keyboard assignments, including keypress combinations and hotkey functions.
 

 
The first thing I did was program one pedal for “R” so I could initiate recording, with the other set to Space Bar for start/stop. Now I could do hands-free punching as well as start recording. The Firefly has five presets, all of which are programmable. For example when editing, you could use the page up/page down option to do foot-controlled zooming. Basically, anything you can do with a keyboard shortcut can be done with the Firefly.
 
Furthermore, you can add two optional, external pedals to the Firefly for four-pedal operation. These are also programmable, resulting in four foot-controlled keyboard shortcut options. The user interface for the Firefly is super-simple: turn on power, and then select one of the five possible switching modes. An additional switch turns on an LED in each pedal so you can see them in the dark. And connectivity is easy; pairing via Bluetooth is painless. If you don’t have Bluetooth you can buy an optional Bluetooth USB dongle for $15.
 
The Firefly runs on batteries, but PageFlip estimates they’ll last a year under normal use, and there’s a triple-flash LED warning when it's time to change the batteries.
 
So if you’ve been looking for a Bluetooth, wireless, foot-controlled way to send keyboard shortcuts to SONAR...here you go. I’ve been using the Firefly for a while, and it does exactly what the company claims. There's more information available at pageflip.com.
 
(Note: The Firefly is the most popular of the line, but if you’re also interested in more general-purpose computer control, $20 extra gets you the Dragonfly with two footswitches in an upper row above the lower footswitches. Realistically, $20 is probably less than buying two more footswitches for the Firefly.)

K, so now how do I connect my sheet music to bluetooth?? (LOL).
(I see they also have a mechanical one for turning paper pages)
 
Like the idea of foot control when recording alone, funny never thought of trying to assign those Sonar commands to my midi controllable pedal board. Albeit this is silent and wireless (BT)
 
Thanks and cheers
 

@Anderton - Great idea. A while ago, I got an Akai MPD232 and have important shortcuts programmed on that. The foot control, however, is such a great idea.

If you don’t have Bluetooth you can buy an optional Bluetooth USB dongle for $15.

Or connect it with a USB cable.
 

Yes, as stated in the beginning but to clarify, there are three PageFlip models; the least expensive one, the Butterfly, connects only via wireless. USB is in the Firefly and the more expensive Dragonfly. In any event I find the wireless aspect very cool when doing overdubs with a mic, and want to be some distance away from the computer's associated noise. 

Yes, I have a very cheap/simple USB footswitch (came from ebay I think) that emulates a space bar. Really useful when you're editing to be able to start/stop without moving away from what you're doing......
I've got an old broken midi patch changer in the loft (8 or 10 footswitches) that I retrofitted with one of these:

You can then use freeware tools like 'JoyToKey' to map joystick buttons to keypresses..... 
 
I used it a few times when gigging, but haven't used it for a while.... Keep thinking of trying it out with Sonar......
