Editing Events
In the second Event Filter dialog box, the checkboxes and value ranges
for beats and ticks are ignored. Only the replacement value ranges for
the selected event types are used.
The Edit-Interpolate command understands a wild card octave
number in the second event Þlter to mean, Òreplace the original note
with a different note in the original octave.Ó Using octave wild cards for
both the search and replacement event Þlters lets you, for instance,
change all E-ßats to E-naturals, preserving the octave of each note.
A few examples will illustrate some of the many uses of the Edit-
Interpolate command. These examples apply to the note event type,
though the command can be used on any type of event.
