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 the "Ctrl" key.
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 tracks
Select the desired notes and copy them by holding down the "Ctrl" key and dragging the
mouse. Alternatively you can also use the copy function in 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 key and, if necessary, correct the position and
pitch. If you let go of the mouse key, Samplitude 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 that correspond to the current pitch are inserted.
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 the "Page Up" key.
