<h2>Selecting notes with the mouse</h2>
<p>
While in Draw mode or Internal Edit mode, any note can be clicked to select
it. Once a note has been selected, <kbd class="mouse
mod3">Left</kbd>-clicking on another selects all notes between them. Adding
or removing a note to/from the selection is done by <kbd class="mouse
mod1">Left</kbd> clicking it.
</p>
<p>
In any mode, <kbd class="mod3 mouse">left</kbd> clicking on a note on the
Scroomer (the piano header of the track, see <a
href="@@midi-track-controls">MIDI Track Controls</a>) will add all
occurrences of that note to the selection, while <kbd
class="mouse">middle</kbd> clicking will only select/deselect all occurences
of that note, clearing the selection. These Scroomer selections works on all
MIDI regions of the track at once.
</p>
<p>
In Internal Edit mode only, <kbd class="mouse">left</kbd> clicking and dragging
outside of a note <dfn>rubberband selects</dfn> a series of notes.
<kbd class="mod3n"></kbd> rubberband selecting adds the notes to the selection.
</p>
<h2>Selecting/navigating note-by-note</h2>
<p>
<kbd>Tab</kbd> selects the next note as defined by their starting time.
<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>Listening to selected notes</h2>
<p>
If <kbd class="menu">Edit &gt; Preferences &gt; MIDI &gt; Sound MIDI notes
as they are selected in the editor</kbd> is enabled, Ardour will send a pair of
NoteOn/NoteOff messages through the track, which will typically allow to
hear each note as it is selected.
