The simple entry caret is a vertical line in the score that indicates where the next note entered will appear. The next note entered could be the pitch displayed on the caret (which can be moved using the up and down arrows) – initiated by pressing the Enter/Return key, a note letter typed on the computer keyboard, or a pitch or pitches played on a MIDI device (with Use MIDI Device for Input checked under the Simple menu). To activate the Simple Entry Caret, from the Simple. menu, choose Simple Entry Options, check Use Simple Entry Caret, and click OK.
