Changing your mouse input settings

You can change your mouse input settings; for example, if you want to load a playing technique on the pointer once and input it in multiple places without having to reselect the playing technique each time.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-, to open Preferences.
  2. In the category list, click Note Input and Editing.
  3. In the Editing section, choose one of the following options for Creating items with the mouse:

    • To input items at the position of the earliest selected note/item in the music area, choose Create item at selection.

    • To load items onto the mouse pointer so you can click in the music area where you want to input the item, choose Load pointer with item.

  4. Optional: If you chose Load pointer with item, activate/deactivate Allow multiple items to be created with the mouse.
    Note

    When this option is activated, you can load an item onto your mouse pointer once, then input that item multiple times without having to reselect it each time.

    When this option is deactivated, you can only input an item loaded onto your mouse pointer once.

  5. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

Your mouse input settings are changed in the current project and for all future projects.
