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.

<h2>Navigating/Selecting notes with the keyboard</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<kbd>tab</kbd> selects the next note in a MIDI region, while <kbd
|
|
class="mod1">tab</kbd> selects the previous note. Holding down the <kbd
|
|
class="mod3"></kbd> key as well prevents previously visited notes from being
|
|
deselected.

<h2>Selecting notes with the mouse</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
While in <a href="@@toolbox">Object Mode</a>, any note can be clicked on to select it. Once a note has been selected, <kbd class="mouse mod3">left</kbd>-clicking on another note selects all notes between the first note selected and the second one. Adding or removing a note to or from the selection is done by <kbd class="mouse mod1">left</kbd>-clicking it. Clicking and dragging outside of a note will <dfn>rubberband select</dfn> any notes enclosed by the selection rectangle; holding down the <kbd class="mod3n"></kbd> key will prevent any previously selected notes from being deselected.

<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 occurances
|
|
of that note, clearing the previous selection. Scroomer selections work on
|
|
all MIDI regions of a track at once.

<h2>Listening to Selected Notes</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If <kbd class="menu">Edit > Preferences > MIDI > Sound MIDI notes as
|
|
they are selected</kbd> is enabled, Ardour will send a pair of NoteOn/NoteOff
|
|
messages through the track as notes are selected. Assuming there is an
|
|
appropriate device or synthesizer attached to the track, these should be
|
|
audible.
