Note Split is one of the programmable mouse Actions, which can be assigned to any mouse button
and key combination. By default, Note Split is assigned to the middle mouse button when using the
Select tool. For more information, see “Flexible Piano Roll tools” on page 457.
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 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” on page 457.
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.
Note: The Note Split action only works on one note at a time.
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” on
page 457). If your mouse does not have a middle button, you may want to reassign Note Split
to another button.
