6.12.1.1 Tools
Most of the tools in the Arrange view are available in the Audio Editor and function there
exactly as they do in the Arrange view.
6.12.2 Music Editor
Instrument Parts contain notes, which represent musical-performance data and are a type of
Event. Notes can be moved, cut, copied, pasted, duplicated, and drawn using mouse tools, key
commands, and certain Event menu commands. Multiple notes can be selected and edited
together, as with other Events.
For quick editing of all notes in a Part or on the Track, use [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+[A] to select all of the
notes in the focused Part in the Music Editor, or [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+[Shift]+[A] to select all notes in all
Parts on the Track.
6.12.2.1 Timebase, Quantize, and Scale
The Music Editor has independent settings similar to those in the Audio Editor. While Quantize
affects the horizontal time-value snapping, the Music Editor also features Scale (vertical note-
value) snapping. The Scale settings allow snapping to specific note values within different
musical scales. Select a scale by choosing the starting note and the musical scale in the
respective selectors. The notes contained in the selected scale are marked on the single-
octave keyboard display, below the Scale selector.
6.12.2.2 Arrow Tool
The Arrow tool in the Music Editor is used with notes in essentially the same way as the Arrow
tool in the Arrange view is used with Events. Multiple notes can be selected and edited
together in the same way as Events.
To move a note using the Arrow tool, click anywhere on the note and drag left, right, up, or
down. Dragging the note left or right will move it backward and forward in time, relative to
the current Edit view timebase and timeline zoom. Dragging the note up or down will
transpose (change the pitch of) the note. The transposition interval can be determined by
using the vertical keyboard display to the left of the Music Editor.
To size any note using the Arrow tool, float the mouse to the left or right edge of the note to
reveal the Sizing tool. When this tool appears, click-and-drag left or right to size the note. As
with Events, notes can be sized and resized nondestructively any number of times.
When sizing multiple selected notes in the Music Editor with the Arrow tool, two additional
behaviors are now possible with modifiers. Clicking on a note and then holding [Ctrl]/[Cmd]
while sizing will result in the all selected notes snapping to the same musical length of the
note on which you clicked. Clicking on a note and then holding [Alt]/[Option] will result in the
