+<p>
+  You can view all the details about a selected note by context-clicking on 
+  it. The dialog that pops up will also allow you to modify all the properties 
+  of the selected note(s). You can modify individual properties more efficiently 
+  using the techniques described below.
+</p>
+
+<dl>
+  <dt>Moving notes</dt>
+  <dd>
+    Right arrow and Left arrow move the selected note(s) early and later in time.
+  </dd>
+  <dt>Changing pitch values</dt>
+  <dd>
+    <kbd>&uarr;</kbd> increases the pitch of the selected notes.<br />
+    <kbd>&darr;</kbd> reduces the pitch of the selected notes.<br />
+    If any of the selected notes are already at the maximum or minimum value, 
+    no changes will be made to any of the notes, to preserve relative pitches. 
+    You can override this with <kbd class="mod2"> </kbd>. The default shift 
+    distance is one semitone. Use <kbd class="mod3"> </kbd> to alter this to 
+    one octave.
+  </dd>
+  <dt>Changing velocity values</dt>
+  <dd>
+    <kbd class="mod1">&uarr;</kbd> increases the velocity of the selected notes.
+    <br/>
+    <kbd class="mod1">&darr;</kbd> reduces the velocity of the selected
+    notes.<br />
+    If any of the selected notes are already at the maximum or minumum value, 
+    no changes will be made to any of the notes, to preserve relative velocities. 
+    You can override this with <kbd class="mod2"> </kbd>.
+    You can also press <kbd>v</kbd> to popup a dialog that will allow you to set 
+    the absolute velocity value of each selected note. Finally, the scroll wheel 
+    <kbd class="mouse">&uArr;</kbd> <kbd class="mouse">&dArr;</kbd> will also 
+    adjust notes in the same way as the arrow keys (note that like the arrow keys 
+    it only affects selected notes, not the note the pointer is over). 
+  </dd>
+  <dt>Changing channel</dt>
+  <dd>
+    Press <kbd>c</kbd> to bring up a dialog that allow you to see and alter the 
+    MIDI channel of the selected notes. If the selected notes use different 
+    channels, they will all be forced to the newly selected channel.
+  </dd>
+  <dt>Changing start/end/duration</dt>
+  <dd>
+    <kbd>,</kbd> (comma) will alter the start time of the note. <br />
+    <kbd>.</kbd> (period) will alter the end time of the note. Both keys will by 
+    default make the note longer (either by moving the start earlier or the end 
+    later). For the opposite effect, use <kbd class="mod1">,</kbd>/<kbd
+    class="mod1">.</kbd>. The note will be altered by the current grid setting. 
+    To change the start/end positions by 1/128th of a beat, use the <kbd
+    class="mod2"> </kbd> modifier in addition to these shortcuts.
+  </dd>
+  <dt>Quantization</dt>
+  <dd>
+    <kbd>q</kbd> will quantize the selected notes using the current quantize 
+    settings. If the quantize settings have not been set for this session yet, 
+    the quantize dialog will appear. <kbd class="mod2">q</kbd> will display the 
+    quantize dialog to allow you to reset the quantize settings, and then 
+    quantizes the selected notes. The default quantize settings are: quantize 
+    note starts to the current grid setting, no swing, no threshold, full 
+    strength.
