NOTE AND AUTOMATION EDITING
263
Note and automation editing in the Inspector
In the Inspector you can edit note and automation events numerically using the displays.
Editing notes and events in the Inspector
If you select a note, four displays appear in the Inspector, showing the event (start) Position, Length, Note
number and Velocity value:
If you select a parameter automation event, two displays appear, showing the event’s Position and Value:
If you select a pattern automation clip, three displays appear, showing the clip’s Position, Length and Pattern Offset:
D Edit the values by clicking on a segment in a display and then drag up/down, use the up/down spin controls, or
type in new values. Snap is not taken into account.
See “Inspector segment displays” for details on how to edit in the Inspector displays.
! Note that when moving the position of events, these may end up outside the clip and be masked (not played).
There will be no warning or indication if this should happen. However, since the clip is open in Edit Mode, you
will be able to see if events are masked.
• If the Tick segment in the Position and/or Length displays shows an asterisk (*), it means that the value is a
fraction of a Tick - a subtick. See “About subticks in the Position and Length displays” for more info.
Editing values for multiple notes or events in the Inspector
When you edit values for several selected events, the changes will always be relative. For example, if you change the
position, length, pitch or velocity when several notes are selected, they will all be changed by the same amount, re-
taining their relative values.
• If several events are selected, the displays will show the values for the event with the earliest start position in
the song.
If several selected events have the same start position, the displays will show the values for the event with the low-
est Note value (for note events) or lowest Value (for automation events).
• If several events are selected and any of their values differ, Match Value buttons appear next to the corre-
sponding display.
See “Matching notes or events using the “Match Values” function”.
