Editing MIDI data in the score sheet
Selection
As usual you can select notes by clicking them. You can select a group of notes (e.g. a chord) by
sketching a frame over them while holding down the mouse button. Select multiple single notes by
pressing "Ctrl".
Note parameters
The parameters pitch, velocity, and length can be changed for one or several selected notes. If you have
selected one or several notes the data of the current note will appear in the info bar above the score
view. Changing a parameter may have a comparable effect on all selected notes, just like in the matrix
editor.
Move and transpose
To move notes, first select and then drag them to the desired position. Here the info box can help you
keep track of the pitch or position. The step size when moving is determined by the selected quantization
raster in the MIDI
editor.
Copy
Select the desired notes and copy them by holding down "Ctrl" and dragging the mouse. Alternatively,
you can also use the copy function of the edit menu.
Insert new notes
You can also insert new notes in the score editor by using the pen. Click on the desired position with the
pen, hold down the mouse button and, if necessary, correct the position and pitch. If you let go of the
mouse key, Samplitude Music Studio 15 will add a new note of the same length as the selected length
quantization value. You can only insert new notes into the active stave. For instance, to insert a note in
the lower part of a piano system, first click on the lower staff in the system on the left.
Only notes are inserted that correspond with the current pitch. Non-scale notes or chromatic
intermediate steps are skipped. When you enter conventional music material with the mouse, diatonic
insert mode increases the chances of hitting the correct note. If a new prefix is to be added to the note,
you can move the note chromatically with the arrow key. This way an inserted F in C major can be
transformed into an F# by pressing "Page up".
Delete notes
You can delete notes by:

selecting them and pressing "Del" or

by clicking on them with the eraser (or the right mouse button)
Insert notation symbols
Clef symbols can be inserted at the current cursor position by pressing the corresponding clef symbol in
the active system.
Delete notation symbol
Notation symbols such as clef and pitch cannot be selected, since they are meta information for the
notation display and no MIDI
events have been allocated to them. They can also be deleted by clicking them with the eraser (or the
