+<p class=fixme>WTH is &ldquo;Note Level Editing&rdquo;? (See table below, &ldquo;So, to summarize&hellip;&rdquo;.)</p>
+
 <h2>Adding new notes</h2>
+
+<p>
+  For light MIDI editing, Internal Edit Mode can be used. This mode allows
+  selecting, copying, moving and deleting notes, and also allows altering
+  notes&rsquo; properties. To <em>add</em> notes using the mouse, <kbd
+  class="mouse mod1">Left</kbd>-drag. For more extensive MIDI editing, <kbd
+  class="menu">Draw Mode</kbd> may be preferred. New notes can be added with
+  a click or drag, without having to hold down <kbd class=mod1n></kbd>.
+  However, <kbd class="menu">Draw Mode</kbd> doesn't allow region-level
+  editing.
+</p>
+
+<p class=fixme>Not sure if the following paragraph is true.</p>
 <p>
-  For light MIDI editing, you can use the Internal Edit Mode. 
-  This mode lets you select notes, copy, move or delete them and alter their
-  properties (see below). To <em>add</em> notes using the mouse, <kbd class="mouse mod1">Left</kbd>-drag. 
-  
-  For more extensive MIDI editing, you may prefer <kbd class="menu">Draw Mode</kbd>. 
-  You can click or drag to add a new note, without having to hold down Ctrl. However, 
-  Draw Mode doesn't offer region-level editing.
+  In both modes, a mouse <em>click</em> creates a note at the pointer location
+  (or the nearest grid point if grid is enabled), and its duration is one <a
+  href="@@grid-controls">Grid unit</a>, even if the grid is disabled. A mouse
+  <em>drag</em> creates the note like a click does, but allows continuously
+  setting the duration of the note until the mouse button is released.

 <p>So, to summarize:</p>
