Dragging Cells
To readjust your timing, you can drag one or more cells to a new location. You can drag a cell to any other frame in the same column or into another column.
You can turn off the Gestural Drag mode for the Xsheet view to prevent drawings from being dragged from one location to another. This feature does not apply to Annotation columns.
