About the Draw tool

Unlike the other MIDI editors, the Score Editor toolbar does not contain a Draw tool. Instead, the Draw tool is “automatically” selected when you insert symbols. The following applies:

  • Normally, the Draw tool is automatically selected when you click on a symbol in the Inspector. However, if the “Double-Click Symbol to get Draw Tool” option is activated in the Preferences dialog (Scores–Editing page), you need to double-click the symbol to get the Draw tool.

  • On the same page of the Preferences dialog, you can find an option called “Display Object Selection tool after Inserting Symbol”. If this option is activated, the Object Selection tool is automatically selected after you have inserted a symbol.

    If you want to insert a lot of symbols with the Draw tool, you may want to deactivate this option.
