To edit keyboard notes

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.

1. 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 View Resolution from the Transcription menu. In the dialog box that appears, enter a smaller value to enlarge the display—50, for example; click OK.
2. To delete notes, drag through their starting point and press delete.
3. 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.

Technical 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.

4. 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.
