The visible note range in a MIDI track can be controlled in two
|
||||
principle ways: the note scroomer, or the scroll wheel of your
|
||||
mouse.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="add-new-notes-using-the-mouse">Using the scroomer</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The scroomer offers two kinds of control. You can "grab" it in the
|
||||
middle and move it up or down - this adjusts the absolute note range
|
||||
displayed up or down. Alternatively you can "grab" the top or bottom
|
||||
handle of the scroomer, and move that up or down - this adjusts the
|
||||
extent of the note range displayed.

Several scroll operations can be used to control the visible note
|
||||
range:
|
||||
<li>In internal edit mode, with no notes selected, unmodified
|
||||
scrolling will move the visible range up and down.</li>
|
||||
<li><kbd class="mod1">scroll</kbd> will increase and decrease the
|
||||
visible range (zoom out and in)</li>
|
||||
<li><kbd class="mod13">scroll</kbd> will expand either the top or
|
||||
bottom of the visible note range (depending on scroll
|
||||
direction). Think of this as "show me higher pitches" or "show me
|
||||
lower pitches".

Editing note information in Ardour occurs in only a single region. There is

no way currently to edit note data for multiple regions at the same time;
