Editing MIDI Notes
You can edit any note on any track shown in the
Notes pane. You edit MIDI notes in the Notes
pane the same way as in Notes view for MIDI
and Instrument tracks in the Edit window, ex-
cept that notes from different tracks are super-
imposed.

MIDI notes to any pencil-enabled track shown
in the Notes pane. If only one track is viewed in
the MIDI Editor window, that track will auto-

imposed tracks are shown in the Notes pane,
MIDI notes will be inserted on the pencil en-
abled tracks only.

abled track with the default Note On velocity
and the selected Default Note Duration.
