Toolbar

Figure 3.2: Pianowin toolbar

Buttons to set the mode of the left mouse-button:

• select area (by dragging a rectangle)
• change length (by dragging the 'tail' of an event)
• show dialog (edit existing event or create a new one)
• cut/paste (great for fast note-by-note editing)

Note that these actions can also be done by using other mouse buttons or by combining shift- and ctrl-keys with mouse buttons (see Mouse actions).

Buttons to set the most common snap values (pasted events will be placed at nearest 'snap' value, similar to a 'grid' in a graphics paint system):

• set snap to 1/8 note
• set snap to 1/12 note
• set snap to 1/16 note
• set snap to 1/24 note

Buttons to manipulate events:

• Cut
• Delete
• Quantize
• Shift left
• Shift right
• Enable multi track mode as described here

Buttons for other operations:

• Undo
• Redo
• Panic (MIDI reset)
