To Choose How SONAR Handles Non-scale Notes
1. Open the Snap Settings dialog by clicking the dropdown arrow in the
Scale menu, and choosing Snap Settings from the menu that appears.
You can also use the Tracks-Snap to Scale-Scales-Snap Settings
command, or the right-click menu in the Track List pane of the Piano
Roll view.
2. Choose one of the following options:
• Adjust to Next, Higher Note—if you choose this option, SONAR
moves any non-scale note that you move to the next higher note in
the selected scale.
• Adjust to Previous, Lower Note—if you choose this option, SONAR
moves any non-scale note that you move to the previous, lower
note in the selected scale.
• Adjust to Nearest Note—if you choose this option, SONAR moves
any non-scale note that you move to the note that is closest in pitch
in the selected scale.

attributes.
