3 All details about selected notes can be viewed by context-clicking on them. The dialog that pops up also allows for the modification of all properties of the selected notes. Individual properties can also be modified more efficiently using the techniques described below:
7 <tr><th>Moving notes</th>
9 <kbd>←</kbd> and <kbd>→</kbd> move selected notes earlier and later in time.
11 <tr><th>Changing pitch values</th>
13 <kbd>↑</kbd> raises the pitch of the selected notes.<br>
14 <kbd>↓</kbd> lowers the pitch of the selected notes.<br>
15 If any of the selected notes are already at their minimum or maximum values,
16 no changes will be made to any them, to preserve their relative pitches.
17 This can be overridden with <kbd class="mod2"> </kbd>. The default shift
18 distance is one semitone. <kbd class="mod3"> </kbd> alters this to
21 <tr><th>Changing velocity values</th>
23 <kbd class="mod1">↑</kbd> increases the velocity of the selected notes.
25 <kbd class="mod1">↓</kbd> reduces the velocity of the selected
27 If any of the selected notes are already at their minimum or maximum values,
28 no changes will be made to them, to preserve their relative velocities. This can be overridden with <kbd class="mod2"> </kbd>.
29 Also, pressing <kbd>v</kbd> pops up a dialog that allows setting
30 the absolute velocity value of all selected notes. Finally, the scroll wheel
31 <kbd class="mouse">⇑</kbd> <kbd class="mouse">⇓</kbd> will also
32 adjust notes in the same way as the arrow keys (note that, like the arrow keys,
33 it only affects selected notes—not the note the pointer is over).
35 <tr><th>Changing channel</th>
37 Pressing <kbd>c</kbd> brings up a dialog that allows viewing and/or altering the
38 MIDI channel of the selected notes. If the selected notes use different
39 channels, they will all be forced to the newly selected channel.
41 <tr><th>Changing start/end/duration</th>
43 To make the note longer, <kbd>,</kbd> (comma) will alter the start time of the note.<br>
44 <kbd>.</kbd> (period) will alter the end time of the note. To make
45 the note shorter (move the start later, or end
46 earlier), <kbd class="mod1">,</kbd>/<kbd class="mod1">.</kbd> can
47 be used. Whether shortening or lengthening the note, its length will be
48 altered by the current grid setting. To change the start/end
49 positions by 1/128th of a beat, the <kbd class="mod2"> </kbd>
50 modifier must be added to these shortcuts.
52 <tr><th>Quantization</th>
54 <kbd>q</kbd> will quantize the selected notes using the current quantize
55 settings. If the quantize settings have not been set for this session yet,
56 the quantize dialog will appear. <kbd class="mod2">q</kbd> will display the
57 quantize dialog to allow editing the current quantize settings, and then
58 will quantize the selected notes. The default quantize settings are: quantize
59 note starts to the current grid setting, no swing, no threshold, full
