<p>

You can view all the details about a selected note by context-clicking on
|
|
it. The dialog that pops up will also allow you to modify all the properties
|
|
of the selected note(s). You can modify individual properties more efficiently
|
|
using the techniques described below.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>Moving notes</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Right arrow and Left arrow move the selected note(s) early and later in time.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>Changing pitch values</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
<kbd>↑</kbd> increases the pitch of the selected notes.<br />
|
|
<kbd>↓</kbd> reduces the pitch of the selected notes.<br />
|
|
If any of the selected notes are already at the maximum or minimum value,
|
|
no changes will be made to any of the notes, to preserve relative pitches.
|
|
You can override this with <kbd class="mod2"> </kbd>. The default shift
|
|
distance is one semitone. Use <kbd class="mod3"> </kbd> to alter this to
|
|
one octave.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>Changing velocity values</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
<kbd class="mod1">↑</kbd> increases the velocity of the selected notes.
|
|
<br/>
|
|
<kbd class="mod1">↓</kbd> reduces the velocity of the selected
|
|
notes.<br />
|
|
If any of the selected notes are already at the maximum or minumum value,
|
|
no changes will be made to any of the notes, to preserve relative velocities.
|
|
You can override this with <kbd class="mod2"> </kbd>.
|
|
You can also press <kbd>v</kbd> to popup a dialog that will allow you to set
|
|
the absolute velocity value of each selected note. Finally, the scroll wheel
|
|
<kbd class="mouse">⇑</kbd> <kbd class="mouse">⇓</kbd> will also
|
|
adjust notes in the same way as the arrow keys (note that like the arrow keys
|
|
it only affects selected notes, not the note the pointer is over).
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>Changing channel</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Press <kbd>c</kbd> to bring up a dialog that allow you to see and alter the
|
|
MIDI channel of the selected notes. If the selected notes use different
|
|
channels, they will all be forced to the newly selected channel.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>Changing start/end/duration</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
<kbd>,</kbd> (comma) will alter the start time of the note. <br />
|
|
<kbd>.</kbd> (period) will alter the end time of the note. Both keys will by
|
|
default make the note longer (either by moving the start earlier or the end
|
|
later). For the opposite effect, use <kbd class="mod1">,</kbd>/<kbd
|
|
class="mod1">.</kbd>. The note will be altered by the current grid setting.
|
|
To change the start/end positions by 1/128th of a beat, use the <kbd
|
|
class="mod2"> </kbd> modifier in addition to these shortcuts.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>Quantization</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
<kbd>q</kbd> will quantize the selected notes using the current quantize
|
|
settings. If the quantize settings have not been set for this session yet,
|
|
the quantize dialog will appear. <kbd class="mod2">q</kbd> will display the
|
|
quantize dialog to allow you to reset the quantize settings, and then
|
|
quantizes the selected notes. The default quantize settings are: quantize
|
|
note starts to the current grid setting, no swing, no threshold, full
|
|
strength.
