722 Chapter 33 Working With Notation
 Absolute Change (all values set to an equal value): Press Option during the procedure
described above: as soon as you move the mouse, the parameter is set to the same
value for all selected objects. This enables you to set all notes of a chord to the same
length or velocity, or set all selected objects to the same height (Vertical Pos), as
examples.
To set the vertical and horizontal position of all selected objects to the same value:
m Use any of the following key commands.
 Align Object Positions Vertically
 Align Object Positions Horizontally
 Align Object Positions (affects both parameters)
These key commands set all objects to the value of the first selected object. If only one
object is selected when you use one of these key commands, a dialog will ask if the
parameters of all similar objects should be set to the same value.
This affects all displayed regions and instruments.
∏ Tip: This is very useful for aligning lyrics and chord symbols.
Deleting Objects From the Score Editor
You can only delete events that are actually displayed in the Score Editor. As an
example, if you erase notes from a real-time recording in the Score Editor, MIDI
controller events or pitch bend data that was recorded with these notes will not be
deleted.
To delete an object, do one of the following:
m Click the object with the Eraser tool.
m Select the object, then choose Edit > Delete (or press the Backspace key).
Note: Repeat signs and special bar lines cannot be selected. They can only be deleted
with the Eraser tool.
