What is the difference between opening the MIDI Editor from the View menu versus the Window menu?

• A. The View method docks the MIDI Editor in the Edit window; the Window method opens a standalone window.
• B. The View method opens a separate floating window, while Window docks it.
• C. Both methods dock the MIDI Editor in the same location.
• D. The Window method closes it automatically when switching views.

Answer: (A)

Docked versus standalone window behavior is what this tests. In Pro Tools, you can open the MIDI Editor in two ways. Using the View menu places the MIDI Editor as a docked pane inside the Edit window, so it shares the same frame and resizes with the Edit window. Using the Window menu opens the MIDI Editor in a separate, floating window that can be moved around or placed on another monitor. This distinction helps you choose between a compact, integrated workspace and a larger, independent editing area. The other descriptions don’t match how Pro Tools handles windows: the View option doesn’t create a separate floating window, and the Window option doesn’t dock the editor inside the Edit window.
