Chapter 25: MIDI Editing 569
Multiple Notes and Event Edit Area
When multiple notes are selected, you can enter
values in the Event Edit area fields to affect all
selected notes. A triangle (delta symbol) to the
left of the displayed note indicates that multiple
notes are selected.
A new value in the Start field moves the first
note in the selection to that location, with all
other notes moving with it.
Values entered in the pitch and velocity fields
add to or subtract from the values for all selected
notes. For example, to transpose all selected
notes down an octave, enter a value of –12 for
pitch.
