Inserting Notes on the Grid
When inserting MIDI notes with the Pencil tool
(using the Line, Triangle, Square, or Random
shapes), the Grid value determines the Note On
location and the Default Note Duration value
determines the note duration (see “Default Note
Duration” on page 635).
For example, if the Default Note Duration is set
to quarter notes and the Grid is set to half notes,
drawing with the Line Pencil tool creates alter-
nating quarter notes and quarter note rests.
If the selected Grid value is shorter than the De-
fault Note Duration, the Grid value determines
both the Note On location and note duration
for notes inserted with the Pencil tool. For ex-
ample, if the Default Note Duration is set to
quarter notes and the Grid is set to eighth notes,
drawing with the Line Pencil tool creates a se-
quence of eighth notes.
Score Editor Window Target
When the Target is enabled for the Score Editor
window, navigating the Edit window automati-
cally navigates the Score Editor window as well.
For example, if in the Edit window you navigate
to bar 32, beat 3 in a MIDI track, when you view
the Score Editor window it too will show the
same location.
When the Target is disabled, the Score Editor
does not update to show the current Edit win-
dow selection or Edit cursor location.
