Chapter 15 Matrix Editor 471

Copying Notes

Hold down Option as you move the notes.

This allows you to copy or move notes between two Matrix Editor windows, even if the

windows belong to different songs.

You can, of course, also copy (Edit > Copy or Command-C) or move (Edit > Cut or

Command-X) the notes onto the Clipboard, and then paste them at the current song

position, at their original pitch (choose Edit > Paste or Command-V).

Altering length

To alter the length of a note, grab it by its bottom right-hand corner, and drag it to the

required length. While you are altering the length, the help tag will keep you informed

about the precise length of the note.

Note start edit

The head of a note (startpoint) can be changed, while retaining the original endpoint.

This is done by grabbing and dragging a note at the bottom left corner. This function is

similar to adjusting the startpoint of a MIDI Region in the Arrange Window.

Altering the Lengths of Several Notes Simultaneously

You can adjust the lengths of several selected notes at once (a chord, for example), by

simply altering the length of one of them. The relative differences between the

(selected) note lengths will be maintained.

Making Notes End Simultaneously

Hold Shift while altering the length of a note, to make all selected notes end at the

same position.

Making Notes the Same Length

If you want to make several selected notes the same length, hold down Option-Shift

(as in the Event List, when making several parameters the same value).

What Tools to Use

You can use either the mouse pointer or the pencil when altering note lengths. It’s

advisable to use the pointer, as this avoids the accidental creation of new notes,

possible with the pencil.

It can sometimes be difficult to grab the bottom right corner of very short notes. In this

situation, you should use the index finger tool, which allows you to grab notes

anywhere, in order to alter their length.
