NOTE AND AUTOMATION EDITING275
About moving notes outside or between clips
If you want to move notes outside the boundaries of an open clip, the result depends on the setting "Keep Events in
Clip While Editing" on the Options menu:
• If the “Keep Events in Clip While Editing” option is active, the notes will belong to the open clip after they have
been moved, but become masked since they are moved outside the clip boundaries.
The clip position and length will remain unchanged.
• If "Keep Events in Clip While Editing" is deactivated and you move notes outside the clip, the notes will be
placed in an existing clip - or in a new clip on the lane, depending on to where you move them to.
The picture below shows three scenarios when moving three notes outside a clip with the “Keep Events in Clip
While Editing” option off:
Changing note pitches (transpose) with the arrow keys
You can use the up/down arrow keys to change the pitches of selected notes by moving them up or down:
D Hold [Ctrl](Win) or [Cmd](Mac) and use the up or down arrow key to move the selected notes in semi-tone
steps.
You can also move/transpose notes in whole octave steps:
D To move the selected notes up/down in octave steps, hold [Shift]+[Ctrl](Win) or [Shift]+[Cmd](Mac) and use
the up or down arrow key.
We’re going to move the last three notes in the clip to beat
3 in bar 5.
The open clip expands by the set Song/Block View Snap
value (1 bar) to fit in the moved notes.
Here, we’re going to move the last three notes in the clip to
beat 4 in bar 10.
The notes are placed in the other existing clip at beat 4 in
bar 10.
Here, we’re going to move the last three notes in the clip to
beat 1 in bar 12.
A new clip is created at bar 12 with a length of the set Snap
value (1 bar) and the notes are placed in beat 1.
