Entering and editing notes
Editing pitches of individual notes
Using key commands
Instead of transposing the note with the mouse, you can assign key commands for
this.
• The commands for which you can assign key commands are found in the Nudge
category in the Key Commands dialog.
Transpose commands are, for example, “Up” (transpose one semitone up) and
“Down” (transpose one semitone down).
Using the info line
You can use the info line to change the pitches (and other properties) of one or
several notes numerically, see
“The info line” on page 48.
• If you have several notes selected and change the pitch on the info line, the
changes are relative.
That is, all selected notes are transposed by an equal amount.
• If you have several notes selected, hold down [Ctrl]/[Command] and change the
pitch on the info line, the changes are absolute.
That is, all selected notes are set to the same pitch.
Via MIDI
Proceed as follows:
1. On the toolbar, activate the MIDI Input button and the Record Pitch button to the
right.
If you also want to change the note-on and/or note-off velocity of the notes via
MIDI, this can be done by also activating the corresponding velocity buttons, as
described in the chapter
“The MIDI editors” on page 481.
To edit notes via MIDI (pitches only), set up the buttons like this.
2. Select the first note that you want to edit.
3. Press a key on your MIDI keyboard.
The note takes on the pitch of the key you pressed. The program then selects the
next note.
4. To change the pitch of the next selected note, simply press the desired key.
In this manner you can change the pitches of as many notes as you wish, by simply
pressing the relevant keys. You can also use key commands (by default the left
and right arrow key) to pass from one note to the other. For example, if you make a
mistake, you can step back to the previous note by pressing the left arrow key.
