For instance, it is not possible to insert or delete rest symbols directly. Samplitude
Music Studio 2013 automatically "registers" rests in the gaps between the MIDI
notes. You will therefore always have a valid score sheet and "complete" bars, even if
the MIDI object should only contain a single MIDI note: the necessary rests are
automatically inserted into the bars.
The common controllers of the MIDI editor in the score editor operate as usual, e.g.
the eraser is used for deleting notes or the pen for creating, copying, and inserting
new notes. In this chapter you will learn how you can edit your MIDI objects within
the regular score. While the event editor contains specific editing options for certain
details (dynamics, note length), it is better to make MIDI changes directly in the score
sheet as it guarantees a better overview.
Opening the score editor
The score editor is integrated into the MIDI editor window. If the MIDI editor is
opened, then you can activate the linear score view by pressing the "Score editor
(linear)" button.

Navigation: You can adjust the play cursor directly in the score by holding shift and
clicking the desired position. You can set the playback range by holding the "Shift" key
and left clicking the left border and right clicking the right border of the range.
Score editor modes
Samplitude Music Studio 2013 offers two alternatives for viewing the score: linear
display and page mode.
The linear note display can be combined with the matrix display to offer ideal MIDI
editing conditions, since the detail in depth of the matrix editor and overview can be
supplemented by several score systems. You can select the score in the score sheet
and perform fine adjustments in the piano roll. Selection and zooms in all editor views
(linear score, piano roll, event list, velocity editor) are always synchronized.
Linear view
Score editor (linear) button
For detailed editing of the MIDI data in the score you should preferably select linear
view mode as both matrix and velocity display are available. All parameters such as
pitch, note length, and velocity are displayed.
Please note: Only the notes of the currently active system are displayed in the
velocity editor if notes and velocity are parallel. The red bar mark indicates the
currently active system.
