Changing the Note Length
The displayed note length is not necessarily the actual note length. It also depends
on the note values and rest values for Display Quantize in the Staff Settings
dialog. This is important to remember when you change the length of a note.
You can change the length of a note in the following ways:
• Select the notes that you want to change and [Ctrl]/[Command]-click on one
of the note icons on the extended toolbar.
All the selected notes are assigned to the length of the clicked note.
• Select the notes that you want to change and edit the length values on the
info line.

Glue tool.

shown as a Gb (G flat) and vice versa.
