step_editing.bindings doesn't seem to exist anywhere discoverable by an average user; also, what does "Insert Snap-Rest" mean? And what key is the "bar" key and why doesn't it work?
+- Sometimes you will want to edit MIDI data directly from a connected - MIDI device like a music keyboard or pad controller. Sometimes you will - want to use the mouse. Sometimes you'll want the fine-grain control, - precision and speed of entry that comes from using a custom note entry - dialog. + Entering notes in Ardour can be done by using a connected MIDI device like a MIDI keyboard or pad controller, or by using the mouse. A third option, which provides for fine-grained control, precision and speed comes from using Ardour's Step Entry dialog.
+ + +- The step entry dialog is accessed via a right click context menu on the - rec-enable button, because step entry is related to recording - MIDI data. You cannot simultaneously step edit and record MIDI via the - track's MIDI port. + The step entry dialog is accessed by right-clicking on the ● (Rec-Enable) button of the MIDI track to be edited and selecting Step Entry from the menu that appears.
- -The dialog (quite closely modelled on Logic's) contains:
+ ++ Step editing and recording MIDI via the track's MIDI port cannot happen simultaneously. +
+ ++ The dialog (closely modelled on Logic's) contains: +
+- More or less all actions in the step entry dialog can be driven - directly from the keyboard, so you do not need to keep moving back - and forth from keyboard to mouse to do complex data insertion. + Almost all actions in the step entry dialog can be driven directly from the + keyboard, so that moving back and forth from the keyboard to the mouse is + typically not necessary—even for complex data entry.
