To Split a Note
1. In the Piano Roll view or inline Piano Roll, click the Select button to
enable the Select tool.
2. Click the middle mouse button at the exact position you wish to split a
Note event.
The Note event is split into two separate Note events at the mouse
position.
Note: these instructions apply to the default mouse assignments and will
not apply if you have re-assigned the Note Split mouse action to different
settings (see Flexible Piano Roll Tools. If your mouse does not have a
middle button, you may want to reassign Note Split to another button.
Note Glue
SONAR now allows you to glue multiple Note events together so they form
a single Note event.
The Note events you glue together don't have to be consecutive—you can
skip some Note events if you like, but only Note events of the same pitch
can be glued together.
Note Glue is one of the programmable mouse “Actions”, which can be
assigned to any mouse button and key combination. By default, Note Glue
is assigned to Alt+middle-click when using the Select tool. For more
information, see Flexible Piano Roll Tools.
To Glue Notes Together
1. In the Piano Roll view or inline Piano Roll, click the Select button to
enable the Select tool.
2. Hold down the Alt key and click with the middle mouse button on an
empty area or on the first Note event you wish to glue.
3. While still holding down the Alt key and middle mouse button, drag
across the Note events you wish to glue together.
The first Note event encountered will become the anchor pitch. Any
other Note events encountered on that same pitch will be glued
together when the mouse button is released, forming a single note
event.
The Note events that will be glued together turn red when the mouse
crosses them.
