Manipulating Notes
There are a few special features for manipulating notes:
Moving Notes
• Use the two mouse boxes to determine where to place notes.
When you move several notes, the upper mouse box shows the position of
the note you clicked on when starting to drag.
• If you hold down [Control] and transpose a note, it will only be trans-
posed within the set key.
If, for example, the key is C major (set in the Staff Settings dialog), you will
only transpose to notes belonging to the C major scale.
Creating Notes and Rests
When you input music “by hand” in Score Edit, you can use the Note and Rest
tools. The length of the note or rest to be input, is determined by the Quantize
value. However, the easiest way to input notes and rests, is to use the note symbols
in the Toolbar:
• To input a note, first click on the desired note value in the Toolbar (the
Note tool is automatically selected), then click in the staff where you
want the note.
If you want to insert a triplet or dotted note, click on the “T” or “·” button
when you select the note value.
• To input a rest, first select the Rest tool, then proceed as when inputting
notes.
There is one big difference between inputting notes and rests:
● Rests are always inserted (as if Insert was activated) into the music.
The upper box shows the position of the
moved note (as bars, beats and ticks).
The lower box shows the pitch when
inputting notes, and the transposition
value when moving notes.
