Mouse actions

Events can be selected by dragging a rectangle with the left mouse button. A selection is continued by dragging while holding the shiftkey down.

Mouse actions in the event area

middle
cut / paste. Clicking on an event cuts the event to the internal cut/paste buffer, clicking on an empty position pastes the buffer contents. middle+shift means copy instead of cut. Multiple events can be cut/copied into the internal buffer by marking some events and select cut/copy from the edit menu. middle+ctrl plays the note without cut / copy.

adjust note length by dragging.

right+shift
opens a dialog box to modify the values of the event or to create a new event.
