This is the ideal method for copying an entire musical phrase, including all symbols, to
the staves of other instruments. All destination staves need to be selected for Paste
Multiple to work.
These commands can be very useful when used in combination with Select Similar,
while copying all dynamic symbols from one staff into other staves/instruments, for
example.
Repeat Objects
This dialog box (see “Copying Regions” on page 109) can be opened from the local Edit
menu, or with a key command. It is especially useful for copying complete bars (or
multiple copies), without setting any bar positions. As an example, in a bar that begins
with a rest on one, select all notes and symbols (rubber band selection), open Repeat
Objects, insert the number of desired copies, set Adjustment to Bar, and press Enter.
Editing or Deleting Notes and Symbols
Editing With Tools
Velocity Tool
If you grab one or several notes with the Velocity tool, and move the mouse up or
down, you change the notes’ velocity values.
The value change can be seen in the Help Tag, and can also be heard if the MIDI Out
button is activated.
Grabbing a note while holding down Option-Control, activates the Velocity tool, saving
you a trip to the Toolbox. Once you release these modifier keys, the cursor returns to its
previous shape and function.
Quantize Tool
Used for quantizing and de-quantizing (see “Event and Note Quantization” on page 35)
the MIDI playback of selected notes.
Layout Tool
The Layout tool changes the horizontal graphic position of a note, in relation to its bar
position.
