Key Editor operations
Drawing notes with the Line tool
The Line tool can be used for creating series of contiguous notes. To do so, click and
drag to draw a line and then release the mouse button.
Ö To determine another mode for the Line tool you can click on the Line tool and click
again to open a pop-up menu where you can select the desired option.
The button will change appearance according to the selected mode.
Inserting and Editing Chords with the Chord Editing Tools
You can insert and edit chords by using the tools in the Chord Editing section of the
Inspector.
Mode Description
Line This is the default mode for the Line tool. When this mode is selected,
you click and drag to create a straight line, in any angle. When you
release the mouse button a series of notes will be created, aligned
with the line. If Snap is activated, the notes will be spaced and sized
according to the Quantize value.
Parabola, Sine,
Triangle, Square
These modes insert events along different curve shapes. While they
can be used for creating notes, they are probably best suited for
controller editing (see
“Adding and editing events in the controller
display” on page 504).
Paint Allows you to insert multiple notes by dragging with the mouse button
pressed. If Snap is activated, the notes will be positioned and sized
according to the Quantize and Length Quantize values. If you press
[Ctrl]/[Command] while painting, movement will be restricted to
horizontal (i.
e. the painted notes will have the same pitch).
