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?
+- Editing MIDI can be a tedious task. Ardour allows using a connected - MIDI device like a music keyboard or pad controller, or use the mouse. - A third option, providing fine-grain control, precision and speed of entry - comes from using a custom note 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. Step editing and recording MIDI via the - track's MIDI port cannot happen simultaneously, so the track should not - be rec-armed. + 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 dialog (quite closely modelled on Logic's) contains: + 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. +
+ ++ Step editing and recording MIDI via the track's MIDI port cannot happen simultaneously. +
+ ++ The dialog (closely modelled on Logic's) contains:
