User manual

● Create item at selection: Items are input at the position of selected items or notes in the
music area.
● Load pointer with item: Items are loaded onto the mouse pointer so you can click in the
music area where you want to input the item.
You can also activate/deactivate Allow multiple items to be created with the mouse. When
this option is activated, you can load an item onto your mouse pointer and input the same item
in the music area multiple times without having to reselect the item each time you input it. When
this option is deactivated, you can only input an item loaded onto your mouse pointer once. If
you want to input the item at multiple positions, you must reselect it each time.
NOTE
Changing your preferences permanently changes the functionality for the current project and all
new projects.
