window to the low and high ends of the desired range. For example, 1.000 to 50.000, which makes it
so you can drag the speed/fade handle all the way to the left for 1.000 or all the way to the right for 50.
-Figure~\ref{fig:always} shows orange keyframes and lines for the ganged speed automation on all video/audio tracks.
-Note the status bar numbers in the lower left-hand corner displaying 2.17 seconds as the location and 0.38 as the playback rate. The figure also shows the orange speed slider bar triangle with the current value displayed via the tooltip.

It may be useful to create a default keyframe which has specific desirable values for later use. To do this, set the timeline to position 0 and be sure to disable \textit{generate keyframes while tweaking}. This will create a default keyframe at the beginning of the timeline which contains global parameters for the entire duration. Or if you have copied a non-default keyframe via Keyframes pulldown \textit{copy default keyframe}, it can be stored as the default keyframe by calling \texttt{keyframes $\rightarrow$ paste default keyframe}. After using paste default keyframe to convert a non-default keyframe into a default keyframe, you will not see the value of the default keyframe reflected until all the non-default keyframes are removed.
-The \texttt{keyframes $\rightarrow$ copy default keyframe} and \texttt{keyframes} $\rightarrow$ \texttt{paste} \texttt{default keyframe} allow conversion of the default keyframe to a non-default keyframe.
+The \texttt{keyframes $\rightarrow$ copy default keyframe} and \\
+\texttt{keyframes $\rightarrow$ paste default keyframe} allow conversion of the default key-frame to a non-default keyframe.
\texttt{Keyframes $\rightarrow$ copy default keyframe} copies the default keyframe to the clipboard, no matter what region of the timeline is selected.
The \texttt{keyframes $\rightarrow$ paste} \texttt{keyframes} function may then be used to paste the clipboard as a non-default keyframe.
And there is an easy way to delete keyframes besides selecting a region and using \texttt{keyframes $\rightarrow$ clear keyframes}. Click-drag a keyframe before its preceding keyframe or after its following keyframe on the track. This is the only way you can simultaneously delete keyframes on ganged tracks.

-When you create a drag selection and you modify a value in a plugin then everything in the selection gets modified the same. It use the previous keyframe and if there is no previous keyframe, then the default keyframe in your \texttt{\$HOME/.bcast5} definitions is used.
+\textit{Allow keyframe spanning} is enabled on the timeline by clicking on the icon that
+is on the right side of the \textit{Generate keyframes while tweaking}. With this enabled,
+when you create a drag selection and you modify a value in a plugin then everything in
+the selection gets modified the same. It uses the previous keyframe and if there is no
+previous keyframe, then the default keyframe in your \texttt{\$HOME/.bcast5} definitions
+is used.
+
+This is particularly useful in plugins that have the \textit{Drag} box enabled. You can
+select the area on the timeline where all of the keyframes exist with the drag enabled,
+turn on \textit{Allow keyframe spanning}, and then modify the menu for that plugin to turn
+off the drag.
