The MIDI editors
List Editor operations
The event list
This lists all events in the selected MIDI part(s), in the order (from top to bottom) in
which they are played back. You can edit the event properties by using regular value
editing, see
“Editing in the list” on page 524.
The event display
This shows the events graphically. The vertical position of an event in the display
corresponds to its entry in the list (i.
e. to the playback order), while the horizontal
position corresponds to its actual position in the project. This is where you add new
parts or events, drag to move them, etc.
The value display
This display shows the “value” of each event, allowing for easy viewing and graphical
editing. Typically, the value shown is the “Data 2” or “Value 2” property (amounts to
MIDI controller events, velocity for notes, etc.).
• To show or hide the value display, click the “Set up Window Layout” button on the
toolbar and activate or deactivate the “Value Display” option.
List Editor operations
Customizing the view
You can click and drag the divider between the list and the event display to make one
area wider and the other narrower. Furthermore, the list can be customized in the
following ways:
• You can change the order of the columns by dragging the column headings.
• You can resize columns by dragging the dividers between the column headings.
Setting the display format
Just like in the Project window, you set the display format (bars+beats, seconds, etc.)
by right-clicking in the ruler and selecting an option from the pop-up menu. This
setting affects both the ruler and all start, end and length values shown in the list.
Zooming
You can change the horizontal magnification in the event display by using the zoom
slider below the display or the Zoom tool (the magnification glass).
Inserting events
To add a new event to the edited part, proceed as follows:
1. Use the Insert Event Type pop-up menu on the toolbar to select the event type.
