Moving notes in the piano roll editor

You can move notes rhythmically within the piano roll editor.

1. In the piano roll editor, select the notes you want to move rhythmically.
2. Move the selected notes according to the current rhythmic grid value in any of the following ways:

   • Press Alt-Right Arrow to move them to the right.

   • Press Alt-Left Arrow to move them to the left.

   • Click and drag them to the right/left.

Result

The selected notes are moved to new rhythmic positions according to the current rhythmic grid value. If you selected multiple notes, they are moved together as a block.

Note

• This also affects how the selected notes are notated in full score layouts and any relevant part layouts.

• When using the keyboard, you can transpose and move notes without deselecting them between each action. When using the mouse, you cannot move and transpose notes in the same gesture, instead you must complete one action and release the mouse before completing the other action.
