To marquee zoom to a particular area of the score:

1

Normal Zoom mode.

Drag in the score, making a marquee selection

of the area to which you want to zoom.

Single Zoom Mode

Single Zoom mode returns you to the previously
selected tool after a zoom has been performed.

For example, when using the Pencil tool you can
select the Single Zoomer tool, and once the
Zoom operation has been performed, Pro Tools
automatically switches back to the Pencil tool.

Single Zoom is identified with an arrow to the
right of the Zoomer icon. (Normal Zoom mode
does not show the arrow.)

To use Single Zoom mode:

„

lect Single Zoom mode.

The Trimmer tool lets you lengthen or shorten
the duration of a note.

or more staves in the Score Editor window. Se-
lected notes highlight blue. Selected notes can
be deleted, moved, transposed, and processed
(using Event Operations).

You can also use the Grabber tool to move single
notes, or all selected notes, to a different pitch or
time location.

Pencil

Use the Pencil tools to insert, select, move, or
delete notes. The various Pencil tools differ in
how they draw note durations, repeated notes,
and velocities, but function in the same fashion
as drawing notes on tracks in Notes view in the
Edit window or in a MIDI Editor window.
