<h2>Selecting/Navigating note-by-note</h2>
<p>
Tab selects the next note. <kbd class="mod1">Tab</kbd> selects the previous
note. <kbd class="mod3">Tab</kbd> or <kbd class="mod13">Tab</kbd> adds
the next/previous note to the selection.
</p>
<h2>Selecting notes with the mouse</h2>
<p>
While in mouse object mode, you can click on a note to select it. Once you
have selected one note, <kbd class="mouse mod3">Left</kbd>-click on another
to select all notes between them. To add or remove a note to/from the
selection, click <kbd class="mouse mod1">Left</kbd>. You can also click and
drag outside of a note to <dfn>rubberband select</dfn> a series of notes.
</p>
<p>
Three different selection operations are possible if you switch to mouse
range mode:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Vertical drags within the MIDI region will select all notes within the
spanned note range.
</li>
<li>
Clicks on the piano header of the track (if visible &mdash; the track must
be tall enough to display it) will select all occurences of that note.
</li>
<li>
Drags on the piano header of the track will select all notes within the
spanned note range.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Listening to Selected Notes</h2>
<p>
If <kbd class="menu">Edit &gt; Preferences &gt; MIDI &gt; Sound MIDI notes
as they are selected</kbd> is enabled, Ardour will send a pair of
NoteOn/NoteOff messages through the track, which will typically allow you to
hear each note as it is selected.
