Selecting notes
Selecting notes is done using any of the following methods:
• Use the Arrow tool.
The standard selection techniques apply, like selecting by clicking on the
note or using a selection rectangle. Note that when you press [Shift] and
click on notes or draw a selection rectangle, these notes will be added to
the overall selection. When you press [Ctrl]/[Command] and click on
notes or draw a selection rectangle, these notes will be removed from
the overall selection (standard Windows behavior).
• Use the Select submenu on the Edit menu or context
menu.
The Select menu options are:
• You can also use the left and right arrow keys on the
computer keyboard to step from one note to another.
If you press [Shift] and use the arrow keys, the current selection will be
kept, allowing you to select several notes.
• To select all notes of a certain pitch, press [Ctrl]/[Com-
mand] and click on the desired key in the keyboard display
to the left.
You can also press [Shift] and double-click on a note to select all the fol-
lowing notes of the same pitch – or use the Equal Pitch functions on the
Select submenu.
• If the option “Auto Select Events under Cursor” is acti-
vated in the Preferences (Editing page), all notes “touched”
by the project cursor are automatically selected.
Toggle selections
If you want to toggle the selected elements within a selec-
tion rectangle, press [Ctrl]/[Command] and enclose the
same elements within a new selection rectangle. Once
you release the mouse button, the previous selection is
deselected and vice versa.
Selecting controllers within the note range
You can select the controllers within the range of the se-
lected notes. The following applies:
• When the Auto Select Controllers button is activated
on the toolbar, the controllers will always be selected
when the respective notes are selected.
• When you select “Select Controllers in Note Range” on
the Select submenu of the Edit menu, the controllers within
the note range (i.e. between the first/leftmost and last/right-
most note) will be selected.
Please note that for this to work, only two notes have to be selected. All
controllers within this range will be selected.
• A note range lasts until the start of the next note or the
end of the part.
• Selected controllers for notes are moved when the cor-
responding notes are moved.
