Chapter 4: Piano Roll window

Controller Type

If “View/Edit” is set to “Control,” the

Controller Type control becomes visible.

The Graphic Data panel will display the

chosen controller type. If Chan is not set

to “All,” only the selected channel events

will be displayed.

Chord Ruler and Note Time Ruler Panel

There are two top rulers. The top Chord Ruler displays chords and the Playback Location Indicator. The Note Time

Ruler displays bars and bar subdivisions. When zoomed-in, more subdivisions are displayed. When zoomed-out,

fewer subdivisions are displayed.

Click or Drag in the Chords Ruler to set the Insertion Point (useful if you wish to use the menu Edit/Paste (Ctrl+V)

to paste into the Piano Roll). If a song is playing, a Chords Ruler click will stop playback.

Double-click the Chords Ruler to start playback at the indicated bar. You can also set the Insertion Point and then

tap Ctrl+G to start playback at the desired location.

Notes can be selected with the Note Ruler. However, the Note Ruler does not select non-note events such as

controllers or pitch bend.

1 Click-drag on the Note Ruler to select a time-range of notes.

2 Shift-click-drag to add a time-range of notes to the selection.

3 Ctrl-click-drag to invert the note selection of a time range.

For instance, you could drag to select all notes in bars 2 thru 7. Then you could Ctrl-drag to toggle off note

selections in bar 4. By using the Shift and Ctrl keys, very flexible time selections can be made.

-2 Click-drag on the keyboard to select all notes in a pitch range.

-3 Shift-click-drag to add another set of notes to the selection.

For instance, you could drag C5 thru C6 to select an octave of notes. Then Shift-click A3 to

add all A3 notes to the selection. Then Ctrl-click F5 to remove all F5 notes from the selection.
