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
Extensive quantization (More Informationen can be found in the section
"Quantization settings" on page 212) and editing functions for MIDI notes can
be found her
e.
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.
Notes quantize (start and length): Selected notes will be quantized according
to the set grid and length quantization values. If no notes are selected, all
events will be quantized. This function can be accessed via the "Quantization"
button in the MIDI editor. Hard quantization always occurs at 100%.
Start quantization: Selected notes will be quantized corresponding to the set
grid quantization value. Note lengths remain unaffected.
Quantization approximation (soft): This command considers the current level
value in the quantization options. The simple quantization command always
occurs at 100%. In this manner, you can always select between approximation
