1. Click in the Time Ruler to set the Now time to the time of the note you want to change.
2. Click the Select tool
3. Drag the note along the string to a new fret.
SONAR moves the note to the new pitch.
To Change the Pitch of a Chord in the Fretboard

2. Click the Select tool

SONAR moves the notes you selected to the new pitches.
Tip:
You can also move the Now time pointer to the exact note by using the Step Play
buttons.

Auditioning

Sometimes it is useful to listen to your music slowly, note-by-note, rather than at full speed. For exam-
ple, you may need to locate a bad note, or you may be trying to learn the correct fingering for a difficult
passage.
The Staff view has two features that let you audition your composition at reduced speed: Scrub and
Step Play. The Scrub tool lets you drag a vertical bar over the staff, playing the notes as it goes. You can
scrub backward or forward at any speed. Step Play lets you step through the project note by note, in
either direction.
To Audition with the Scrub Tool
1. Click the Scrub tool
2. Drag the mouse horizontally through the Staff pane to play the notes.
SONAR plays any notes the scrub line passes over.
or the Draw tool .
