Hints:
• You can freely define the shortcut for switching the mouse mode
(tool). "Delete" mode can be activated anytime by clicking/dragging
with the right mouse button. For instance, you can use the pen to
insert new notes when left clicking and remove already inserted
notes with a right click without having to change tools.
• Notes created in "Draw" mode contain the MIDI channel and velocity
of the edit boxes of the "New" section above the piano roll.
• You can select the previous/next note with the cursor left/cursor
right keys. With the cursor up/down keys you can adjust the note
pitch step by step.
Editing notes with the mouse
If you move the mouse over a note, then the mouse cursor will
change and, depending on the part of the note, the following options
will be available:
• Change note start time (Grab note bar at the beginning, note end
remains)
• Change note length (Grab note length at end)
• Shift + set fixed note length (for multi-selection hold "Shift" and drag
current reference note longer/shorter – all notes will have the same
length)
• Ctrl + scale note length (for multi-selection hold "Ctrl" and drag
current reference note longer/shorter – changes the note length
relatively, i.e. the reference note will become twice as long and thus
all other notes will be double length)
• Move note freely (pitch and start time is changed)
• Move note horizontally only, retain pitch (in free move mode, hold
"Alt")
• Move notes vertically, keep position (hold "Shift" in move mode)
MIDI functions

section "Quantization settings" on page 216) and editing functions for

The commands in the "MIDI functions" menu always affect all of the
selected notes. If no notes have been selected, the functions are
applied to all notes.
Legato: If necessary, notes may be prolonged until the next note to
be played in legato.
