Chapter 7: Notation and Printing 98
Certain areas of the screen are not valid locations to drop a note. The mouse
cursor will change to a busy cursor to indicate an invalid location. If you try to
drop a note in an invalid location, nothing will happen.
Moving a note in time.
If you want to change the start time of a note, drag the note with the left mouse
button to the new location. This is a simple way to move the note.
Alternatively, you could edit the note numerically with an option click on the
note.
Changing the pitch of a note.
Similarly, you can drag the note vertically to change the note value, and release
it when you're on the note you want. Hold down the shift, control, or
key to
have the note inserted as a sharp, flat, or natural respectively.
Editing a note's values.
Click on a note while holding the option key. This brings up the Note Edit
dialog box that lets you change any values about the note in numerical data.
