This tool lets you move one note at a time (or several within a measure) to another measure, even on a different staff. For example, you can create cross-staff notation. Or, after transcribing a two-handed performance with HyperScribe, you can correct split-point errors by moving notes from the upper staff to the lower staff. You can move several notes in a measure horizontally as well; for example, you can copy a particular motif into the next measure. The target (destination) measure must be within 128 measures of the source (original) measure. You can also use the Note Mover to copy a note or group of notes within the same measure. If you drag a note to the end of its own measure, you create a copy of it there, after all the existing notes. If you drag a note to the middle or beginning of its own measure, you insert a copy of it at the beginning of the measure. First, note that you can perform these copying maneuvers within a single measure regardless of the currently selected Note Mover menu command. Second, note that you can only copy notes in this way if the measure is not completely full (based on the current time signature). If the measure is rhythmically full, nothing at all will happen if you drag a note within its own measure.

Select the handles of the notes you want to move or copy; select one note by clicking, additional ones by SHIFT-clicking, a group of notes by drag-enclosing their handles, or all notes in the measure by choosing Edit > Select All. Then, after making sure you've chosen the appropriate copying command in the Note Mover menu, drag any one of the selected handles to the staff lines of the target measure.
