• Symbols (except those directly attached to notes) can be inserted at any position
which corresponds to the grid defined by the Qua parameter. For hybrid
quantizations (i.e. 8,12), the insert quantization is determined by the binary value (in
this example 1/8).
However, you can move any note, and most symbols, to any desired position, by
editing its numeric bar position in the Event List, or the Event Float Window (see “Event
Float Window” on page 453). As an example, if you want to insert a half note on “two”
in 4/4 time, place it on “one” or “three”, and change the position to “two” in the Event
Float.
Simultaneous Input of Objects into Several Sequences
If you hold down Shift while inserting an object from the Part box, the object is
inserted at the same position into all currently selected Regions. The help tag will
display Insert Multi during this process. With this technique, you can insert notes,
symbols, and even text elements into several Regions at once. (Text elements will not
appear until you have finished the text input procedure).
You may make the multiple MIDI Region selection in either the Arrange or the Score
window. Shift-click all desired Regions/staves, or use the rubber band selection
technique with the mouse. In the Score window, you don’t need to select events, just
drag the cursor vertically across the staves that you wish to select.
After selection, the Display Parameter box will indicate how many staves (Regions) are
selected, in its top line.
Key changes, signature changes and global signs automatically are inserted into all
staves of a song, and cannot be inserted into selected staves only.
Exact Graphic Position of Symbols
When you insert a symbol which is not automatically attached to a note, you should
pay attention to the following details:
