The MIDI editors
Key Editor operations
• You can also perform the Repeat function by dragging: Select the notes to repeat,
press [Alt]/[Option], click the right edge of the last selected note and drag to the
right.
The longer to the right you drag, the more copies are created (as indicated by the
tooltip).
Using cut and paste
You can use the Cut, Copy and Paste options on the Edit menu to move or copy
material within a part or between different parts. When you paste copied notes, you
can either use the regular Paste function or the function “Paste Time” from the Range
submenu of the Edit menu.
• “Paste” inserts the copied notes at the project cursor position without affecting
existing notes.
• “Paste Time” inserts at the project cursor position, but moves (and if necessary,
splits) existing notes to make room for the pasted notes.
Resizing notes
To resize a note, use one of the following methods:
• Position the Object Selection tool at the start or end of the note, so that the pointer
takes on the shape of a small double arrow. Click and drag to the left or right to
resize the note.
This method allows you to resize the note from either direction.
• If you want to apply time-stretching to the controller (and Note Expression data,
Cubase only) associated with the note that you resize, you can select the “Sizing
Applies Time Stretch” mode for the Object Selection tool before resizing the note.
This resizing mode works exactly as in the Project window, see “Resizing events
using time stretch” on page 77.
• Click with the Draw tool within the note box and drag to the left or the right (to
make the note shorter or longer, respectively).
Selecting “Paste Time” with this
data on the clipboard and the
project cursor here…
…will give you this.
