Finding Exact Positions with Snap

The Snap function restricts horizontal movement and positioning to certain positions. This helps you find exact positions in the note display when editing note events in a MIDI editor. Affected operations include moving, duplicating, drawing, sizing, etc.

  • To activate/deactivate snap, click Snap.

    If you select the Bars+Beats display format, the snap grid is set by the quantize value on the toolbar. This makes it possible to snap to straight note values and to swing grids that have been set up in the Quantize Panel.

  • If you select any of the other display formats, positioning is restricted to the displayed grid.
