GarageBand FAQ: Dash CheckBoxes

Q. What does it mean when GarageBand displays a Dash instead of a CheckMark?

A. Apple's GarageBand 6 (And Later) Allow you to set things like the Follow Pitch and Tempo CheckBox in the Track Editor on a per region basis instead of the earlier versions that only applied the setting to the entire track.

Since it's possible to make the...

setting apply to parts of a track, Apple's GarageBand needed a method to show that the setting is only partially applied to the track. When all regions have the same setting, a CheckMark is displayed, but when only some of the regions in a single track have the setting applied, a Dash is displayed.
