For flexibility and speed, Notion offers different ways to change items you placed in the score area . Selecting the
method to use depends partially on what you are doing at the moment and partially on your work style .
To remove/change items you placed on a score, you can:
8 Click-select and delete any number of items, or
8 Delete what you highlight, or
8 Delete an entire part (instrument), or
8 Substitute a new duration for a note/rest – or multiple notes/rests at once .
Also, the next topic discusses Clear Special where you can quickly delete your choice of score marks .
Click-Select and Delete
Clicking is a convenient method to delete a single item or to delete any mix of multiple
items . This is especially useful if the multiple items are not next to each other .
1 . Have your cursor be the Pointer . If it is currently the Music Cursor, press the Esc key .
2 . To select:
> A single item, click it once .
» The item turns orange in color to show it is selected .
> Multiple items, hold down the Shift key as you click any number of different items . Release the Shift key only
when you select all the items you want .
» All items remain in an orange color to show they are selected .
3 . Complete one of the following:
4 . Press either the Delete or Backspace key, or
5 . Select either Edit > Delete or Edit > Clear in the Menu bar .
» The existing items disappear . Any remaining notes and rests in an edited measure move to the left .
Highlight and Delete
If you need to delete multiple items across many staves, or spanning a large area of
your score, this method deletes everything in an area you highlight .
1 . Hold down a mouse click at any starting point and drag the Pointer . You can start and end in any direction within
one staff or across multiple staves .
» Notion highlights the area you select .
2 . Release your click when you have highlighted the area you want to remove .
3 . Speed editing when you have multiple parts in a score, Notion draws boxes around other markings in other staves
that are also at this location . If a box is shaded, then its contents are selected . If a box is unshaded, its contents are
left alone . Simply hold down
