Repitching notes without changing their rhythm
You can repitch notes after you have input them while keeping their durations the same, for
example, if you want to duplicate the rhythm but have different pitches.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the rst note you want to repitch.
2. Press Shift-N to start note input.
3. Optional: If you want to repitch notes on multiple staves at once, extend the caret to those
staves.
4. Press L to activate Lock to Duration.
5. Enter the pitches you want.
6. Optional: Press L again to deactivate Lock to Duration.
NOTE
Lock to Duration automatically deactivates when you reach the last existing note on the
staff. By default, normal note input continues using the previous note value selected before
you activated Lock to Duration.
RESULT
Existing notes on the selected staff are repitched without their rhythms being changed. The caret
automatically advances from note to note, even if there are large rests between notes on the
staff.
