Selection tool
This tool lets you select and/or drag musical symbols, entire staves or text.
METRO limits some of your dragging actions:
- You can only drag notes up or down in pitch on their staff (METRO
automatically calculates distances between notes and spaces out measures accordingly.)
- You cannot drag bar-lines
- You cannot drag key signatures, time signatures or clefs
If a tool is not specified in the notation section of this help file, use the
selection tool.
