Chapter 36: Score Editor 811
Grid
The Grid selector lets you define the Grid value for
MIDI notes inserted and displayed in the Score Ed-
itor window.
To set the Grid value for the Score Editor window:
 From the Grid Value pop-up menu, select a note
value.
If you want dotted note values, also select the
Dotted option.
If you want triplet note values, also select the
Triplet option.
Inserting Notes on the Grid
When inserting MIDI notes with the Pencil tool
(using the Line, Triangle, Square, or Random
shapes), the Grid value determines the Note On lo-
cation and the Default Note Duration value deter-
mines the note duration (see “Default Note Dura-
tion” on page 809).
For example, if the Default Note Duration is set to
quarter notes and the Grid is set to half notes,
drawing with the Line Pencil tool creates alternat-
ing quarter notes and quarter note rests.
If the selected Grid value is shorter than the De-
fault Note Duration, the Grid value determines
both the Note On location and note duration for
notes inserted with the Pencil tool. For example, if
the Default Note Duration is set to quarter notes
and the Grid is set to eighth notes, drawing with the
Line Pencil tool creates a sequence of eighth notes.
Score Editor Window Target
When the Target is enabled for the Score Editor
window, navigating the Edit window automati-
cally navigates the Score Editor window as well.
For example, if in the Edit window you navigate to
bar 32, beat 3 in a MIDI track, when you view the
Score Editor window it too will show the same lo-
cation.
When the Target is disabled, the Score Editor does
not update to show the current Edit window selec-
tion or Edit cursor location.
