You can change the length of cues after they have been input. This changes the material shown in cues to reflect the material at the corresponding rhythmic positions in the source instrument.
Procedure
-
In Write mode, select the cues you want to lengthen/shorten.
Note
When using the mouse, you can only lengthen/shorten one cue at a time.
-
Lengthen/Shorten the cues in any of the following ways:
-
Press Shift-Alt-Right Arrow to lengthen cues by the current rhythmic grid value.
-
Press Shift-Alt-Left Arrow to shorten cues by the current rhythmic grid value.
-
Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-Alt-Right Arrow to lengthen a single cue to the next notehead of the source instrument.
-
Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-Alt-Left Arrow to shorten a single cue to the previous notehead of the source instrument.
Note
When multiple cues are selected, you can only lengthen/shorten cues by the current rhythmic grid value.
-
Click and drag the circular handle at the start/end of a single cue to the right/left.
Result
The selected cues are lengthened/shortened.
Note
Key commands lengthen/shorten items by moving their end only.
Note
You can lengthen cues so that they overlap with other existing cues, as multiple cues can exist at the same rhythmic position. However, their stem directions are not automatically adjusted so you might have to change them manually.
