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.

note, activate Between Selected.

Note Display
The note display is the main area in the Key Editor. It contains a grid in which note events are
shown as boxes.
The width of a box corresponds to the note length. The vertical position of a box corresponds
to the note number (pitch), with higher note events higher up in the grid. The piano keyboard
helps you to find the right note number.
Controller Display
The area at the bottom of the Key Editor window is the controller display. It contains the
controller events.
To show or hide the controller display, click Set up Window Layout on the toolbar, and
activate or deactivate Controller Lanes.
