Working With Notation
Deleting Objects From the Score Editor
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 Editor, MIDI
controller events or pitch bend data that was recorded with these notes will not be
deleted.
To delete an object, do one of the following:
m
Click the object with the Eraser tool.
m
Select the object, then choose Edit > Delete (or press the Backspace key).
Note: Repeat signs and special bar lines cannot be selected. They can only be deleted
with the Eraser tool.
Moving or Copying Objects With the Mouse
You can move or copy notes and symbols with the mouse, just as in the Piano Roll
Editor.
Note: It’s easy to unintentionally change a symbol’s bar position with the Pointer tool.
Choose the Layout tool to limit changes to an event’s vertical and horizontal position.
See “
Changing the Graphical Position of Objects
To move a symbol or note with the mouse:
m
Select one or more notes or symbols, then drag it to the desired position.
To copy a symbol or note with the mouse:
m
Select one or more notes or symbols, press Option, then drag it to the desired position.
Watch the help tag during this process. It shows the operation (drag or copy), the
current difference from the original position (transpose and time shift), and the current
cursor position (bar position and—for notes—pitch).
You can simultaneously move or copy objects from different regions/staffs. Each event
will be moved/copied to its new position, within the original (source) MIDI region.
