Adding and Editing Notes in the Piano Roll View
You add notes in the Piano Roll view or Inline Piano Roll view by first choosing a note duration in the
Piano Roll toolbar (or in the current track’s Note Duration menu if you’re using the Inline Piano Roll
view), and then clicking in the view with the Draw tool at the pitch location and time location where you
want the note to go. The pitch locations are marked by grey rows for the sharps or flats, and white rows
for naturals. Octaves are labeled on the keyboard display on the left side of the Piano Roll view, and by
the MIDI Scale in the Inline Piano Roll view. You can display different octaves by dragging the vertical
scroll bar that’s on the right side of the Piano Roll view, or by dragging the MIDI Scale in the Inline
Piano Roll view. The time locations are marked by the measure numbers in the horizontal time ruler
that’s at the top of the view, and by the vertical grid lines that mark the beats in the measure. The Snap
to Grid menu determines how precisely you can place your notes in time.
You can edit notes by a variety of methods:
• Select notes, and then use editing commands from the Edit menu, the Process menu, or the Event
Inspector toolbar
• Move single or groups of selected notes with the Select tool
• Edit the pitch, location, duration, start time, and velocity of individual or groups of selected notes
with the Draw tool
For step-by-step procedures, see the following topics:
