Selecting multiple items using marquee selections

You can use a marquee selection to select multiple notes and notations at the same time within a specific area in Write, Engrave, and Play modes.

Procedure

In the music area but not on any notes/items, click and hold until the marquee tool appears.

The marquee tool appears as a moving gray square.
Drag across the area where you want to select everything.

A gray rectangle indicates which notes and notations will be selected. We recommend dragging from one corner of the area you want to select diagonally across to the other corner.

Result

All notes and notations in the area within the gray rectangle are selected.

Note

Only items completely within the area are selected. However, if any part of a note/tie chain is within the area, the whole note/tie chain is selected.
