Action Function
[Ctrl] + drag left/right note
border
(macOS: [Cmd] + drag left/right
border)
Freely moves the start/end of selected notes (overrides the
Step Grid quantization), thereby resizing the notes.
Drag note vertically Group view: Moves selected notes to another Sound of the
Group.
Keyboard view: Transposes selected notes.
Double-click note Deletes selected notes.
Right-click (macOS: [Ctrl]-click) Deletes selected notes.
If multiple notes are selected, mouse actions can be performed on any of the selected notes —
they will apply to all selected notes.
If you perform any of the actions listed above on a note not included in the current selection,
the selection is dropped and the note you are editing will be the only note affected by your
edit.
Quantization when Editing a Single Event/Note
By default, all dragging actions on the time axis are quantized according to the Step Grid:
▪ When you drag a note (or its duplicate) horizontally, its original offset with the Step Grid is
preserved, unless you drag the note near a grid line — in that case it will snap to the grid.
▪ When you resize a note by dragging its start/end border, the new start/end border will snap
to the Step Grid.
To override the quantization and freely adjust the note position or size, hold [Ctrl] ([Cmd] on ma-
cOS) while dragging!
Quantization when Editing Multiple Events/Notes at Once
When you drag multiple notes (or their duplicates) on the time axis or resize them according to
the Step Grid, the various notes in the selection are affected as follows:
▪ The note you click is moved or resized according to the quantizing rule described above.
