While it’s much easier to edit your performance
once it’s been transcribed into standard notation, you can, if you wish,
edit notes directly in the Transcription window.
- Click the word Keyboard. The word becomes
highlighted. You’ve just indicated that you’ll be editing notes only.
For better control, you can “zoom in” by choosing Transcription > View Resolution. In the dialog box that appears, enter a smaller
value to enlarge the display—50, for example; click OK.
- To delete notes, drag through their starting
point and press DELETE.
- To insert a new note, double-click in the Keyboard
area. The Keyboard area is the bottom three-quarters of the display
window, where the other notes appear. When you double-click and drag to
the right, a new note appears, whose pitch is determined by the location
of your click; use the piano keyboard at the left side of the screen as
a guide.
Note. The
note’s initial duration is 15 units; the value of a unit is determined
by the number in the View Resolution dialog box. In other words, if the
View Resolution (the unit) is 100 (in thousandths of a second), the note
produced by a double-click is 1500 thousandths of a second long—which
is 1.5 seconds. If you hold the mouse button down on your second click,
you can drag backward (to the right) to increase the duration of the note.
- To move the attack (or release) of the note,
carefully double-click the line; on the second click, keep the mouse button
down and drag the first (or second) half of the line right or left.
