<h2>Adding new notes</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In general, most MIDI editing will probably be done with the mouse in object
|
|
mode. This allows to select notes, copy, move or delete them and alter their
|
|
properties (see below). But at some point, <em>adding</em> notes to a MIDI
|
|
region using the mouse will mean dragging with the mouse. Since this would
|
|
normally be a selection operation if the mouse is in object mode, there needs
|
|
to be some way to tell Ardour that the user is trying to <dfn>draw</dfn> new
|
|
notes within a MIDI region. Ardour provides two ways do this. One is to leave
|
|
the mouse in object mode and <kbd class="mouse mod1">Left</kbd>-drag. The
|
|
other, useful to enter a lot of notes for a while, is to switch the mouse into
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Draw Notes</kbd> mode, which will now interpret any drags
|
|
and clicks as requests to add a new note. For obvious reasons, Draw Notes mode
|
|
can not be used while using region-level editing.
|
|
</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 object,
|
|
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 mouse object mode</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Adding new notes</th>
|
|
<td>enabling "Note Level Editing" and then either
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>using mouse object mode and <kbd class="mouse mod1">Left</kbd>-drag, or</li>
|
|
<li>using mouse draw mode.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that is also a <a href="@@step-entry">a step entry editor</a> allowing to
|
|
enter notes from a virtual keyboard and lots more besides.
