Note Editor Window Note Editor is a special MIDI files editor. It allows you to quickly and effectively correct the results of the automatic recognition (for example, by TS-AudioToMIDI). The Editor is designed similarly to a Piano Roll, i.e. the time axis is located horizontally, and different positions on the vertical line correspond to different pitches. Top ruler shows time marks (in seconds), and the bottom line represents MIDI parameters of a current or selected note. Note Editor operates in three main modes - editing, deleting and playing. With the Edit Tool you move the notes, set their properties and so on. To move the whole note, drag the note center, to move the note end - drag the end. There are several options in the Edit Mode: if Create Notes is checked, you can create new notes by clicking in the empty areas of the main pane. Note attributes are defined by the Default Note Attributes dialog. If Glue Notes is checked, then when you intersect several notes, they glue together. The volume of the resulting note is the maximum from two, and other parameters are taken from the dragged note. With the Delete Tool you wipe all notes that you touch with mouse button pressed. By entering the Play Mode you can play either visible notes, visible notes slowly, all composition. See also Menu Reference and Keyboard Reference. To be able to continue editing later, save all data to a single file in Note Editor format. Zoom In - zoom in on the visible area. Zoom Out - zoom out visible area. Color Setup - select the colors and contrast of background in Color Setup dialog. Undo - cancels last editing operation. Undo is unlimited. Edit Tool - select Edit Tool for editing and moving notes. Delete Tool - select Delete Tool for mass deletion of wrong notes. Default Note Attributes - invoke the Default Note Attributes dialog. Play Mode - play notes of a visible time span. This button is also down for all other playback types. Zoom Horizontally - zoom the visible area in horizontal direction only. Zoom Vertically - zoom the visible area in vertical direction only.
