Moving across staves – the Lock button

If you are editing several tracks, you may want to move notes from one staff to another.

1. Make the desired Quantize settings and select the notes.

   Make sure to only select notes on the same staff.

2. Make sure that the “L” (Lock) button on the extended toolbar is deactivated .

   If this button is activated, you cannot move notes and other objects from one staff to another, which is handy if you need to transpose a note very high or low, for example.

3. Click on one of the notes and drag them to the new system.

   The active staff rectangle indicates on which staff the dragged notes appears.
