Editing Notes

outlines a number of note-related editing operations that will help you to get your
score looking just right.
Note: If your editing requirements extend beyond those covered in this section, see

Using Note Attributes to Change Individual Notes
Editing the Velocity, Length, or Pitch of a Note
You can edit the velocity, length, or pitch of one or more selected notes in the Score
Editor.
To change a note’s velocity, do one of the following:
m
Select the note, then edit the Velocity parameter displayed in the Event Parameter box.
m
Grab one (or several) notes with the Velocity tool, and move the mouse up or down.
The value change can be seen in the help tag, and can also be heard if the MIDI Out
button is activated.
∏
Tip: Grabbing a note with the Pointer tool—while holding down Option-Control—
activates the Velocity tool, saving you a trip to the Tool menu. Once you release these
modifier keys, the cursor returns to its previous shape and function.
