There are also key commands that set the vert.pos and hor.pos parameters of all
selected objects to the same value:
• Align Object Positions Vertically
• Align Object Positions Horizontally

If only one object is selected when you use one of these key commands, a dialog
appears, allowing you to decide if the parameters of all similar objects should be set to
the same value. (Note: this affects all displayed Regions and instruments.)
Hint: This is very useful for aligning lyrics and chord symbols.

Editor:
• With the eraser tool (works for all objects)
• With Backspace or Edit > Clear, while the corresponding objects are selected
(flashing). Exception: repeat signs and special barlines cannot be selected. They can
only be deleted with the eraser tool.
You can only delete events that are actually displayed in the Score Editor. As an
example, if you erase notes from a real time recording in the Score window, MIDI
controller events or pitchbend data that was recorded with these notes will not be
deleted.

every MIDI Region. The displayed settings always refer to the currently selected MIDI
Region(s). These settings only affect the score display, not the MIDI playback of notes.
Please keep the following in mind for all settings:
