The MIDI editors
Ö If you hold down [Shift] while clicking on any of the
smart spots, you get the vertical scaling mode.
• To move the whole selection up/down or left/right, click
on a controller event inside the editor and drag the curve.
By pressing [Ctrl]/[Command] when clicking and dragging, you can re-
strict the direction to horizontal or vertical movement, depending on the
direction in which you start dragging.
Ö Snap is taken into account when moving controller
curves horizontally.
The In-Place Editor
The In-Place Editor makes it possible to edit MIDI parts di-
rectly in the Project window, for quick and efficient editing
in context with other tracks.
To open the In-Place Editor for one or more selected
tracks, you have the following possibilities:
• Select “Open In-Place Editor” on the MIDI menu.
• Use the Edit In-Place key command, by default [Ctrl]/
[Command]-[Shift]-[I].
• To open the In-Place Editor for a single MIDI track, click
the corresponding Edit In-Place button in the track list (if
necessary, expand the track list to display the button).
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 gray triangle in the upper right corner 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 377.
Just like in the Key Editor, you can edit controller data and
articulations at the bottom of the In-Place Editor.
• To add or remove controller lanes, right-click below the
controller name field and select an option from the context
menu.
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 386.
• 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 Edit In-Place key command, by de-
fault [Ctrl]/[Command]-[Shift]-[I].
• To close the In-Place Editor for one track, you can click
the Edit In-Place button in the track list or double-click be
-
low the controller display in the In-Place Editor.
Ö If you have opened the In-Place Editor for multiple
parts, you can drag and drop notes between the parts.
