All editing is done in-place, in-window. There is no separate piano roll
window or pane. Edit notes right where you see them.

+ MIDI, just like audio, exists in regions. MIDI regions behave like audio
+ regions: they can be moved, trimmed, copied (cloned), or deleted. Ardour allows
+ either editing MIDI (or audio) regions, or MIDI region content (the notes), but
+ never both at the same time. The key (by default)
+ toggles between region level and note level editing
+
+
+ Editing note information in Ardour occurs in only a single region. There is no
+ way currently to edit in note data for multiple regions at the same time, so for
+ example notes cannot be selected in several regions and then all deleted, nor
+ can they be copied-and-pasted from one region to another. Region(s), though, can
+ be copy-pasted just as with audio.

All MIDI I/O is done via JACK for sample accurate timing and maximal
efficiency when communicating with external software synthesizers.
