The MIDI editors
This expands the MIDI track to show something like a min-
iature Key Editor, allowing you to edit MIDI notes and con-
trollers.
• To zoom or scroll the In-Place Editor, point at the left
part of the piano keyboard display so that the pointer
changes to a hand. Now you can click and drag to the
right or left to zoom in or out vertically, and drag up or
down to scroll the editor.
• Clicking on the little gray triangle in the upper right cor-
ner of the Track list for the edited track brings up a local
toolbar with some settings specific to the In-Place Editor.
For descriptions of these settings, see “The toolbar” on page 339.
• Just like in the Key Editor, you can edit velocity or con-
tinuous controllers at the bottom of the In-Place Editor.
To change which controller type is shown, click in the controller name field
directly below the piano keyboard and select a controller type from the
pop-up menu. To add or remove controller lanes, right-click below the con-
troller name field and select an option from the context menu that appears.
• When you select a MIDI note, the Project window info
line shows information about that note, just like the info
line in the Key Editor.
You can perform the same editing here as on the Key Editor info line, see
“Editing on the info line” on page 348.
• The Snap button and Snap type pop-up menu on the
Project window toolbar govern snapping in the In-Place
Editor, but the snap grid is set using the Quantize pop-up
menu.
• To close the In-Place Editor for one or several selected
tracks, you can use the key command or click the “Toggle
the In-Place Editor” button above the Track list.
• To close the In-Place Editor for one track, you can click
the Edit In-Place button in the Track list or double-click
below the controller display in the In-Place Editor.
Working with Parts
If you work with parts in the In-Place Editor, some editing
functions are available. You can:
• change the length of the parts by clicking on the lower part
edges (so that the mouse pointer changes to a double arrow)
and dragging it to the left or right.
• drag and drop notes from one part to the other.
• change the length of notes by clicking on them and dragging
the double arrow to the left or right.
