Monitoring Events in the Editors
As already mentioned, you can have playback running while you are editing. And,
you can also use the cue function (see the Getting Started chapter “Playback,
Tempo and the Transport Bar”) in the Edit windows. But there are two more ways
to listen to your music in the editors:
The Magnifying Glass
The Magnifying Glass tool is common to all MIDI editors. When you click on an
Event using this tool, the Event is played back. You can also hold the mouse button
and drag the Magnifying Glass around over the Events.
The Speaker
When you click on the speaker symbol on the Status Bar, Events will be output au-
tomatically when you click on them, when you create them using the pencil or paint
brush, and when you make changes on the info line.
Selecting and the To pop-up menu
The concept of selecting Events is much the same as selecting Parts, described in
the Getting Started book. You can:
• Click on an Event to select it (and deselect all others).
• Hold [Shift] and click on an Event to select it, keeping any previously se-
lected Events.
• Select several Events by enclosing them in a rectangle using the Arrow
tool.
• Press [Control]-[A] to select all Events in the editor.
This is the same as using the Select All item on the Edit menu.
• Use the [←] and [→] keys to select the previous/next Event in the Active
Part.
If you hold down [Shift] and use the arrow keys, the next/previous Event will
be selected, without deselecting already selected Events.
• Use the “Select” submenu on the Edit menu.
The contents of this submenu varies depending on which editor you’re in. See
the Online Help.
