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. However, you must first 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 find the correct position.
The position is displayed on the Mouse Time Position display on the status line. The
position snaps to the grid that is defined by the quantize value.
5. Move the mouse vertically to find the correct pitch.
The Mouse Note Position display on the status line shows the pitch at the pointer
position.
6. Click in the staff.
RESULT
The note appears in the score. The notes get the insert velocity value that is set in the Insert
Velocity field 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, you enter a 1/32 note that is displayed as a 1/16 note.
