The following Pencil tools are available in the
Score Editor:
Free Hand
The Free Hand Pencil tool lets you draw single
notes of varying duration.
Note velocities are determined by the Default
Note Velocity setting (see “Default Note On Ve-
locity” on page 721).
The minimum duration of the note is deter-
mined by the selected Default Note Duration
(see “Default Note Duration” on page 721).
Line
The Line Pencil tool lets you draw multiple
notes of the same pitch and duration.
Note velocities are determined by the Default
Note Velocity setting (see “Default Note On Ve-
locity” on page 721).
The duration is determined by the selected De-
fault Note Duration (see “Default Note Dura-
tion” on page 721).
The start time for each note is determined by the
selected Grid value (see “Grid” on page 723).
Triangle
The Triangle Pencil tool lets you draw a series of
MIDI notes on a single pitch whose velocities os-
cillate between the defined Default Note Veloc-
ity and 127 in a triangle pattern. The duration of
each note is determined by the current Grid
value.
The duration is determined by the selected De-
fault Note Duration (see “Default Note Dura-
tion” on page 721).
The start time for each note is determined by the
selected Grid value (see “Grid” on page 723).
Square
The Square Pencil tool lets you draw a series of
MIDI notes on a single pitch whose velocities al-
ternate between the defined Default Note Veloc-
ity and 127 in a square pattern. The duration of
each note is determined by the current Grid
value.
The duration is determined by the selected De-
fault Note Duration (see “Default Note Dura-
tion” on page 721).
The start time for each note is determined by the
selected Grid value (see “Grid” on page 723).
Random
The Square Pencil tool lets you draw a series of
MIDI notes on a single pitch whose velocities
change randomly within the range between the
defined Default Note Velocity and 127 in a
square pattern. The duration of each note is de-
termined by the current Grid value.
The duration is determined by the selected De-
fault Note Duration (see “Default Note Dura-
tion” on page 721).
The start time for each note is determined by the
selected Grid value (see “Grid” on page 723).
