<h2>Adding new notes</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For light MIDI editing, the Internal Edit Mode can be used. This mode allows
|
|
to select notes, copy, move or delete them and alter their properties. Adding
|
|
new notes in this mode is done by <kbd class="mouse
|
|
mod1">Left</kbd> dragging.
|
|
|
|
For more extensive MIDI editing, the <kbd class="menu">Draw Mode</kbd>.
|
|
allows to <kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd> click or drag to add a new note, without
|
|
having to hold down <kbd class="mod1n"></kbd>. However, Draw Mode doesn't offer
|
|
region-level editing nor rubberband selection.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In both modes, a mouse <em>click</em> creates a note at the pointer location
|
|
(or the nearest grid point if grid is enabled), and its duration is one <a
|
|
href="@@grid-controls">Grid unit</a>, even if the grid is disabled. A mouse
|
|
<em>drag</em> creates the note like a click does, but allows to set the
|
|
duration of the note until the mouse button is released.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>So, to summarize:</p>
|
|
<table class="dl">
|
|
<tr><th>Selecting, moving, copying, trimming, deleting <em>regions</em></th>
|
|
<td><kbd class="menu">Note Level Editing</kbd> disabled, using Grab,
|
|
Range or other mouse modes</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Selecting, moving, copying trimming, deleting <em>notes</em></th>
|
|
<td><kbd class="menu">Note Level Editing</kbd> enabled, and using Internal
|
|
Edit mode</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Adding new notes</th>
|
|
<td>enabling "Note Level Editing" and then either
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>using Draw mode and <kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd>
|
|
clicking/dragging, or</li>
|
|
<li>using Internal Edit mode and <kbd
|
|
class="mouse mod1">Left</kbd> clicking/dragging.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is also <a href="@@step-entry">a step entry editor</a> allowing to enter
|
|
notes from a virtual keyboard and lots more besides.
