The Piano Roll View
The Piano Roll view displays all notes and other events from one or more MIDI tracks in a grid
format that looks much like a player piano roll. Notes are displayed as horizontal bars, and drum
notes as diamonds. Pitch runs from bottom to top, with the left vertical margin indicating the pitches
as piano keys or note names. Time is displayed running left to right with vertical measure and beat
boundaries. The Piano Roll view makes it easy to add, edit, and delete notes from a track.
A single-track version of the Piano Roll view is available in each track in the Track view. This view is
called the Inline Piano Roll view, and replaces the Clips pane in any track that you choose to display
in Inline Piano Roll mode.
