2 <h2>Adding new notes</h2>
4 For light MIDI editing, the Internal Edit Mode can be used. This mode allows
5 to select notes, copy, move or delete them and alter their properties. Adding
6 new notes in this mode is done by <kbd class="mouse
7 mod1">Left</kbd> dragging.
9 For more extensive MIDI editing, the <kbd class="menu">Draw Mode</kbd>.
10 allows to <kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd> click or drag to add a new note, without
11 having to hold down <kbd class="mod1n"></kbd>. However, Draw Mode doesn't offer
12 region-level editing nor rubberband selection.
16 In both modes, a mouse <em>click</em> creates a note at the pointer location
17 (or the nearest grid point if grid is enabled), and its duration is one <a
18 href="@@grid-controls">Grid unit</a>, even if the grid is disabled. A mouse
19 <em>drag</em> creates the note like a click does, but allows to set the
20 duration of the note until the mouse button is released.
23 <p>So, to summarize:</p>
25 <tr><th>Selecting, moving, copying, trimming, deleting <em>regions</em></th>
26 <td><kbd class="menu">Note Level Editing</kbd> disabled, using Grab,
27 Range or other mouse modes</td></tr>
28 <tr><th>Selecting, moving, copying trimming, deleting <em>notes</em></th>
29 <td><kbd class="menu">Note Level Editing</kbd> enabled, and using Internal
31 <tr><th>Adding new notes</th>
32 <td>enabling "Note Level Editing" and then either
34 <li>using Draw mode and <kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd>
35 clicking/dragging, or</li>
36 <li>using Internal Edit mode and <kbd
37 class="mouse mod1">Left</kbd> clicking/dragging.</li>
42 There is also <a href="@@step-entry">a step entry editor</a> allowing to enter
43 notes from a virtual keyboard and lots more besides.
