pitches. Arrows at the top and bottom of the
mini-keyboard (not available in the smaller
track heights) are used to scroll the Notes dis-
play up and down.
In Notes View, the pitch range of MIDI notes
that can be displayed depends on the track
height, and on the current zoom value. Any
time a track's notes do not fit within its current
height, notes above or below the viewed area are
displayed as single-pixel lines at the very top
and bottom of the range (see Figure 9 on
page 262).
To scroll the Notes display up or down for a MIDI or
Instrument track, do one of the following:
Click either the up or down arrow of the mini-

If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, you
can use it to scroll a MIDI or Instrument
track's Notes display. Place the mouse over
a MIDI or Instrument track in the Edit win-
dow, and Alt-Start-Control-scroll (Win-
dows) or Command-Control-Option-scroll
(Mac) the scroll wheel to scroll the Notes
display for that track.
Regions View for MIDI and
Instrument Tracks
MIDI and Instrument tracks can also be viewed
as Regions, which is similar to Waveform View
for audio tracks. While a track's notes are visible
in Regions View, individual note editing is not
available in this view. Instead, all editing occurs
across a time range encompassing all track data,
including continuous controller events, pro-
gram changes, and System Exclusive events.
Use Regions View to define regions that repre-
sent song sections and clips, or to rearrange or
assemble track material.
In Regions View, the vertical Zoom is automati-
cally scaled to fit the entire range of pitches (tes-
situra) of MIDI notes on a track.
For more information on setting Track
View, see "Track View" on page 255.
To toggle Track View between notes and re-
gions, click in the track you want and press
Start+Minus (Windows) or Control+Minus
(Mac) on the QWERTY keyboard, or press
Control+Alt (Windows) or Command+Op-
tion (Mac) and use the Left and Right Arrow
keys to cycle between Track Views.
