on a wide variety of criteria. Additional tools are
provided to specify whether selected data is cop-
ied to the clipboard or to new tracks, whether
the data is split to multiple new tracks or a single
destination, and more.

the notes can be entered in pitch (C1–G8) or
MIDI note numbers (0–127).

chord.

chord.
Other Criteria
Velocity Enable the Velocity option to specify a
range of velocities for selecting or splitting
notes. Enter the desired minimum and maxi-
mum velocities.
Duration Enable the Duration option to specify a
range of durations (in beats and ticks) for select-
ing or splitting notes. Enter the desired mini-
mum and maximum durations.
Position Enable the Position option to select or
split all notes that fall into a range of relative
beat and tick locations within each bar. The
minimum value determines the start of the

Action
Select Notes Selects MIDI notes based on the
specified criteria.
Split Notes: The Clipboard Copies the selected
data to the clipboard only.
Split Notes: A New Track Copies all selected data
to a single, new track. If the selection includes
multiple tracks, that same number of tracks will
be created. The new tracks will duplicate the
original track type (Instrument or MIDI).
Split Notes: A New Track per Pitch Copies all se-
lected data to multiple new tracks (one new
track for each pitch). New tracks zoom to single-
note display. If the selection includes multiple
tracks, each track will have its data split sepa-
rately.
Include MIDI Controller Data Includes all contin-
uous MIDI data, including pitchbend and after-
touch, on the entire track, without any restric-
tion on time selection.
