WTH is “Note Level Editing”? (See table below, “So, to summarize…”.)

+

Adding new notes

+ +

+ For light MIDI editing, Internal Edit Mode can be used. This mode allows + selecting, copying, moving and deleting notes, and also allows altering + notes’ properties. To add notes using the mouse, Left-drag. For more extensive MIDI editing, Draw Mode may be preferred. New notes can be added with + a click or drag, without having to hold down . + However, Draw Mode doesn't allow region-level + editing. +

Not sure if the following paragraph is true.

- 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 add notes using the mouse, Left-drag. - - For more extensive MIDI editing, you may prefer Draw Mode. - 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 click creates a note at the pointer location + (or the nearest grid point if grid is enabled), and its duration is one Grid unit, even if the grid is disabled. A mouse + drag creates the note like a click does, but allows continuously + setting the duration of the note until the mouse button is released.
