Operation

Scrolling

Clicking either of the scroll arrows moves the display up or down by one event. The
event at the position marker is always selected (the existing selection changes as you
scroll). The scrolling speed can be varied by vertically moving the mouse. The Scroll to
Next/Previous Event
key command is also available from the Event window, and has the
same end result.

If the MIDI Out button is switched on, every newly selected event will be played. This
allows you to scroll through the list and audibly monitor the events as you go.

If you want to keep the selected event where it is, use the usual scroll bar functions.

Selection Techniques

When selecting events with the mouse, you should click near the status column, to
avoid any unintentional parameter alterations.

You can use any of the standard selection techniques here: individual selection by
clicking on objects, multiple selection using the rubber band, or both of these (without
altering the previous selection), in conjunction with Shift. Don’t forget you can also
make selections according to specific criteria with the Edit menu.

Any events hidden from the display by clicking on the event type buttons, are
immediately deselected. This ensures that all functions only affect the displayed (and
selected) events.

Special Selection Functions

Some selection commands (which can be accessed from the Edit menus of all Editor
windows) can also be utilized by selecting an item with the mouse, while holding
down additional modifier keys.

If you click on an event while holding down Option, you select all events between
the last event that was selected, and the current one.

If you hold down Control and select an event, all similar events will also be selected.

If you select an event while holding down Control-Option, all identical events will be
selected.
