Play toolbox

The Play toolbox contains tools that allow you to select and edit the note events in the event display in Play mode.

Played Durations

Allows you to change when notes start/end in playback without affecting their notated durations. When Played Durations is selected, the played durations of notes are shown as a lighter event, above a thinner line that shows the notated duration of notes.

Notated Durations

Allows you to change the rhythmic duration of notes, which affects the position and notation of those notes. When Notated Durations is selected, the full, notated durations of notes are shown as single events in the piano roll editor.

Object Selection

Allows you to select notes in the piano roll editor. Select Object Selection to deselect Erase.

You can also select Object Selection by pressing S.

Draw

Allows you to add and edit notes. You can click and drag in the piano roll editor to input notes with the durations you want. The ends of the notes you draw snap to rhythmic positions according to the current rhythmic grid value.

You can also select Draw by pressing D.

Draw Percussion

Allows you to add notes to percussion staves in the piano roll editor with one click. You do not have to click and drag to a duration when using Draw Percussion.

Erase

Allows you to delete notes. You can make marquee selections to delete multiple notes when Erase is selected.

You can also select Erase by pressing E.
