and measures for editing.

The vertical axis of the grid indicates pitch, and the

Setup Grid Resolution parameter.
For note events, the vertical axis indicates the pitch, and the
length of the bar indicates the duration of the note. The left
edge of the bar is the beginning of the event.
Measures in which a pattern has been put are shaded in
purple.
