• Note Slip Start (left edge). Click the left edge of a Note event.
• Note Time Adjust. Click near left edge of a Note event, slightly to the right of the Note Slip
Start zone.
• Note Pitch Adjust. Click the center part of a Note event.
• Note Slip End (right edge). Click the right edge of a Note event.
• Note Velocity Adjust. Click the top part of a Note event.
• Controller. Click the handle (top part) of a Controller event.

Note: Because Windows has a long-established standard of using CTRL-drag for copy
operations, there is a potential collision when using the CTRL key to program actions that
involve moving events. Therefore, the CTRL key requires some special attention:
If the CTRL key is part of a context for a move action, copying will be disabled if the CTRL key is
pressed.
