This includes rewriting out all of the "you" language that was peppered throughout, fixing inconsistencies in layout, and removing <br>s wherever they were misused and unnecessary (which was quite a lot).

<p>Ardour's MIDI editing is based on two basic principles:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Editing should be done without having to enter a new window</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Editing should be able to carried out completely with the keyboard,
|
|
or completely with the mouse, or with any combination of the two.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Currently, MIDI editing is primarily restricted to note data. Other
|
|
kinds of data (controller events, sysex data) are present and can be
|
|
added and deleted, but not actually edited.
|

<h2>Fundamentals of MIDI Editing in Ardour 3</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
MIDI, just like audio, exists in <dfn>regions</dfn>. MIDI regions
|
|
behave like audio regions: they can be moved, trimmed, copied (cloned),
|
|
or deleted. Ardour allows either editing MIDI (or audio) regions, or MIDI
|
|
region content (the notes), but never both at the same time. The
|
|
<kbd>e</kbd> key (by default) toggles between <dfn>region level</dfn>
|
|
and <dfn>note level</dfn> editing, as will double-clicking on a MIDI region.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="note">
|
|
One very important thing to note: editing note information in Ardour
|
|
occurs in only a single region. There is no way currently to edit in note
|
|
data for multiple regions at the same time, so for example you cannot select
|
|
notes in several regions and then delete them all, nor can you copy-and-paste
|
|
notes from one region to another. You can, of course, copy and paste the
|
|
region(s), just as with audio.
