manual/include/create-midi-regions.html
Shamus Hammons f04db3fe5d First pass at reorganizing/cleaning up the MIDI part.
A few other files were touched as well as they were referred to by files
in the MIDI part, which lead to other connected things being pulled in.
As this is only the first pass, there will be more necessary changes
coming in the near future.  Also, the lowest two levels of structure
were mistakenly removed from the build system; these have been added
back as they are necessary to keep the structure of the manual sane.

<p>
Although <a href="@@midi-recording">recording MIDI</a> on an existing track is a common way to create new MIDI regions, it is often desirable create new MIDI regions as part of the editing and/or arranging process.
</p>
<p>
A new MIDI region can be created with the mouse by entering <a href="@@toolbox">Draw Mode</a> (entered by pressing the <kbd>d</kbd> key or clicking on the Draw tool) and then <kbd class="mouse">left</kbd>-clicking anywhere in an existing MIDI track; this will create a region that is one bar long. If longer regions are desired, they can be created by <kbd class="mouse">left</kbd>-clicking anywhere in an existing MIDI track and dragging the mouse until the region is the desired length.
</p>
<p class=note>
Once created, all the typical methods of editing audio regions will work the same as they do for MIDI regions. See <a href="@@editing-regions-and-selections">Editing Regions and Selections</a> for more details.
