Specifying note durations

When using the Smart tool or Freehand tool to draw new note events, use the Value control in the

Tools module to specify the note duration of new note events (whole, half, etc.).

You can also use the following shortcuts to set the desired note duration.

Use note duration value from last touched note

When inserting new Note events, you can choose to always apply the note duration from the last

touched Note event. To do so, select Last Touched in the Value control drop-down menu. Before

inserting a new Note event, select an existing Note event that already uses the duration you want to

apply to the new note, then insert the new note.
