Note Off positions (ends) of all of the selected notes snapping to the same Note Off position of
the note on which you clicked.
To duplicate selected notes using the Arrow tool, hold [Alt]/[Option] on the keyboard, click on
the selection, and drag left or right. Release the mouse button when the desired position is
reached, and the selection will be duplicated to this position. To temporarily switch to the
Paint tool, press and hold [Ctrl].
6.12.2.3 Split Tool
The Split tool in the Music Editor allows you to split notes so that they become two separate
notes. Clicking on any note directly will split it at that position, while selecting multiple notes
and then splitting, will split all selected notes. Holding [Alt] when clicking with this tool will
perform a split of any selected notes, as well as a split of the part itself, so that one part
becomes two.
6.12.2.4 Paint Tool
The Paint tool in the Music Editor is used to draw notes in an Instrument Part. The Paint tool
will snap when drawing to certain vertical and horizontal positions based on the Scale and
Quantize settings. When the mouse cursor is floated over the Music Editor with the Paint tool
selected, the note value for the current cursor position is highlighted on the keyboard display.
Note that the Keyboard display can be switched to a Drum Map display by clicking on the
Drum Map button above the Keyboard display. The Drum Map display essentially removes the
virtual keyboard and allows more room to display sample names horizontally for each vertical
note position.
The pitch names in the Drum Map can be edited by clicking on the Edit button and then
typing names for each pitch in the pop-up menu. You can then save the Map to recall at a later
time by clicking on the Store Preset button. Select any Map from the list to load it. (A General
MIDI Drum Map is provided.)
To draw a note with the Paint tool, click at the desired position. If you click once, the new note
will have a length equal to the time value of the current Quantize setting. If you click-and-drag
to the right, you can make the note any length you desire. With the Paint tool selected, float
the mouse cursor to the edge of any existing note to size the note, as with the Arrow tool. To
delete a note, click on it using the Paint tool.
To edit the velocity of a note while drawing the note with the Paint tool, drag up and down
after you click to draw the note. To edit the velocity of a single note, using the Paint tool, hold
[Alt]/[Option] on the keyboard and click-and-drag up or down on the desired note.
You can also edit the velocities of notes in the Part Automation lane of the Music Editor, which
is discussed in the Instrument Part Automation section of the "Automation" chapter.
