Length
Contains length-related options, similar to the Functions submenu of the
MIDI menu.
• To change the length of the selected MIDI events or all events of the
active part if no events are selected, use the Scale Length/Legato
slider.
At the maximum value the notes reach the beginning of the next note.
• To make the new length settings permanent, use the Freeze MIDI
Lengths button to the right of the Scale Length/Legato slider.
• To fine-tune the distance between consecutive notes, use the Overlap
slider.
At 0 Ticks, the Scale Legato slider extends each note so that it reaches
the next note exactly. Positive values cause the notes to overlap and
negative values allow you to define a small gap between the notes.
• To use the Legato function or slider to extend a note until the next
selected note, activate Between Selected.
This is identical with activating the Legato Mode: Between Selected
Notes Only option in the Preferences dialog.

Note Display
The note display of the Drum Editor displays notes as diamond symbols.
The vertical position of the notes corresponds to the drum sound list to the left,
while the horizontal position corresponds to the note’s position in time.
NOTE
The diamond symbols do not indicate the length of the notes, since drum sounds
most often are “one-shot” samples that disregard note lengths.
