The Shift key ensures that the transposed note
retains its start point. While dragging, each new
note sounds and the Cursor Location Value in-
dicator (in the Edit window) indicates the num-
ber of semitones and direction (+/–) for the
transposition.
Moving Notes
Like regions, MIDI notes can be dragged left or
right with the Pencil tool or any Grabber tool to
change their start point. If several notes are se-
lected before dragging, they are all moved to-
gether.
To move a MIDI note:
1
Set the MIDI or Instrument track to Notes
View.
2
With the Pencil tool or any Grabber tool, drag
the note left or right (press Shift while dragging
to preserve the note’s pitch).
As the note is dragged, the Cursor Location
Value indicator (in the Edit window) displays
the new start point.
If the Edit mode is set to Grid, the dragged note
snaps to the nearest Grid boundary. If the Edit
mode is set to Spot, the Spot dialog opens.
Trimming Note Start and End Times
Like regions, start and end points for MIDI notes
can be adjusted with the Trim tool. If several
notes are selected when performing the trim,
each note is changed.
To change the start or end points for a group of
MIDI notes:
1
Set the MIDI or Instrument track to Notes
View.
2
Using the Pencil tool or any Grabber tool,
Shift-click each note you want to trim.

Properties (see “MIDI Real-Time Proper-
ties” on page 607).
To copy the selected notes, leaving the orig-
inals intact, press Alt (Windows) or Option

The placement of MIDI notes can also be
adjusted with Shift (see “Shift Command”
on page 437) or Nudge (see “Nudging” on
page 435).
The Trim tool can also be used on MIDI re-
gions. For more informations, see “Time
