Matrix Editor: Special selection options
In order to directly select all notes of a certain pitch, double-click on a free section with this
pitch in the Matrix Editor or in the keyboard. Hold down the "Alt" key to select notes with
this pitch from this click position only.
Using the "Shift + double click" key combination on a free area, you can create a new
event and simultaneously select all notes of this pitch.
Note: If you additionally press "Ctrl" during any of these selection methods, the new
selection is added to the current one (i. e. the previous selection is not canceled).
Matrix Editor: Edit events
If you move the mouse over an event the pointer will change depending on which event bar
area the mouse is in. The following options are available:
Change event start time: drag the event's front edge. The note end remains intact.
Change event length: drag the event's back edge. The note start remains intact.
Set fixed event length: for multi-selection, hold "Shift" and drag the currently referenced
event longer or shorter. This function makes all event equal length.
Scale event length relative: for multi-selection, hold "Ctrl" and drag the currently
referenced event longer or shorter. The lengths of the other selected events change.
Move events horizontally: move the mouse over an event whilst holding the "H" key. The
mouse pointer will turn into a horizontal double arrow. Move the selected events
horizontally in the timeline. The step size is defined by the set grid value.
Move events vertically: move the mouse over an event whilst holding the "H" key. The
mouse pointer will turn into a vertical double arrow. Move the selected events vertically in
pitch.
You can temporarily remove the snap and freely drag the event by holding "Alt".
Relative snap for moving operations ("Options -> Relative movement in grid"): If this
option is active, the interval between events to the next snap position remains for event
moving. This makes preferred implementation of instrument groups easier to rearrange.
