Adding new notes

- In general, most MIDI editing will probably be done with the mouse in object - mode. This allows to select notes, copy, move or delete them and alter their - properties (see below). But at some point, adding notes to a MIDI - region using the mouse will mean dragging with the mouse. Since this would - normally be a selection operation if the mouse is in object mode, there needs - to be some way to tell Ardour that the user is trying to draw new - notes within a MIDI region. Ardour provides two ways do this. One is to leave - the mouse in object mode and Left-drag. The - other, useful to enter a lot of notes for a while, is to switch the mouse into - Draw Notes mode, which will now interpret any drags - and clicks as requests to add a new note. For obvious reasons, Draw Notes mode - can not be used while using region-level editing. + For light MIDI editing, you can use the Internal Edit Mode. + This mode lets you select notes, copy, move or delete them and alter their + properties (see below). To add notes using the mouse, Left-drag. + + For more extensive MIDI editing, you may prefer Draw Mode. + You can click or drag to add a new note, without having to hold down Ctrl. However, + Draw Mode doesn't offer region-level editing.
