Using the keyboard

By default, you can step through (and select) the notes in the staff using the Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys. If you press Shift, you can select a series of notes as you step through them.

  • If you are working with polyphonic voices, you step through the notes on the current track, that is, in a split system, you step through the staves.

  • If you want to use other keys for selecting notes, you can customize the settings in the Key Commands dialog (in the Navigate category).
