can also page through the track by clicking the Play-Next button or the
Play-Previous button.
Note: You cannot insert notes whose durations are less than the value in
the Display Resolution Þeld, which is located in the top level of the Staff
view toolbar.
You may want to pick a different snap-to grid value for a particular note.
For example, if you want to insert a half note in the last quarter note
position in a measure (in order to get two tied quarter notes), you must
set the snap resolution to a quarter note. Pro Audio will automatically
convert the half note to two tied quarter notes. The same method can be
used to insert a syncopated note, such as a quarter note at an eighth
note position.
You may also wish to disable the Fill Durations and Trim Durations
options before you enter notes on the staff. This will allow you to see
the true durations of all the notes you enter. These options are discussed
in ÒChanging the Way Notes Are DisplayedÓ on page 8-15.
