Articulations
To enter articulations during step-time, use the relevent shortcut before you enter the pitch, e .g . 1 for staccato . To clear
your next note of any articulation, press = (equals) .
Voices
If desired, you can change the voice during step-time . Press Alt+x where x is the voice number from 1 to 4 to
switch between voices .
Tuplets
To enter triplets and other tuplets . you complete four steps:
1 . Specify the base time value (such as e for a group of eighth notes or q for a group of quarter notes) .
2 . Specify the type of tuplet you want . Hold down the Alt key as you press one of the following digits:
> 2 = duplet .
> 3 = triplet .
> 4 = quadruplet .
> 5 = quintuplet .
> 6 = sextuplet .
> 7 = septuplet .
> 8 = octuplet .
> 9 = nonuplet .
3 . Enter the notation for the tuplet . Since you are in a tuplet entry mode you can Enter a complex tuplet . For example,
let’s say you set up a triplet of eighth notes (by pressign e then Alt+3) . At a point you want to Enter a quarter note
instead of an eighth note, just press q . Your next entry will be a quarter note inside that eighth-note triplet .
4 . End the tuplet entry mode . Otherwise, Notion will continue to create additional tuplets for you . To end this mode of
entry, press either Alt+0 (zero) or Alt+1
Repitch existing durations with Step-Time
If you’re happy with your rhythmic durations, and only want to replace the pitch, you can use step-time for this . Place
the cursor at the start of the notes you wish to repitch, then go into Step-Time mode . Use any of the note entry methods
above to replace the pitches (e .g . MIDI keyboard, onscreen keyboard, QWERTY pitches) . When you’ve finished, exit Step-
time . You can skip over rests using the left and right arrow keys .
(You can also change the durations without changing the pitch too! Make a selection of notes, then hit equals followed
by the shortcut of the duration you want . So to change a group of eighth notes and rests to sixteenth notes, make a
selection, then = s )
Exit Step-Time
Whenever you want to end this mode of operation, press the Esc key or click the button in the Transport .
