It is recommended to set the quantize value to the smallest note value in the piece. This does not
stop you from inputting notes at coarser positions. However, if you set the quantize value to a
too small note value, it is easier to make mistakes.
With the quantize value set to 1/8, you can only input notes at 8th note positions.
You can also use the Quantize Panel to create other quantize values, irregular grids, etc.
Creating Notes
In the score display, the Insert Note tool allows you to create notes.
PREREQUISITE
You have set the note value (length) and spacing.
PROCEDURE
1.
Set the note value in one of the following ways:
● Click the note symbols on the extended toolbar.
● Select an option from the Length Quantize pop-up menu on the toolbar.
2. Select the Insert Note tool.
If you selected the note value via the extended toolbar buttons, the Insert Note tool is
automatically selected.
3. Open the Quantize Presets pop-up menu on the toolbar and select a quantize value.
4. Move the mouse over the staff to nd the correct position.
The Mouse Value display on the status line shows the pitch at the pointer position. The
position is displayed on the
Mouse Time Position display on the status line.
5. Click in the staff.
When you click and hold down the mouse button, the bars and beats positions are shown.
This allows you to
nd the correct position.
NOTE
The position snaps to the grid that is dened by the quantize value.
RESULT
The note appears in the score. The notes get the insert velocity value that is set in the Note
Insert Velocity eld on the toolbar.
NOTE
If the notes that you enter appear to have the wrong note value, you may have to adjust the
Display Quantize settings. For example, if you entered a 1/32 note that is displayed as a 1/16
note.
