Command Location: Tools Menu / MIDI Options / MIDI In
This tool allows you to enter single notes or whole chords directly into your score using a connected MIDI device.
Before you can add notes to your score in this way you must have configured a MIDI In device and ensured that you are ‘listening’ for MIDI In from that device.
Note entry with a connected MIDI device is possible only in Edit Mode, Normal Entry.
Notes are entered by positioning the cursor to the desired insertion point, and entering the desired note pitch(es) using your connected MIDI device. When all the notes held down on the device have been released, the chord/note is added.
Holding down the Shift key whilst entering notation will result in rest entry rather than note entry.
The duration of the note or rest added is determined by the entry item qualities, and should be set before entering a new item.
Chord notes can be added in exactly the same way as with the mouse or computer keyboard; holding the Control key down whilst clicking notes on the on screen piano will keep the cursor in the current time position, ready for adding another note to the current chord.
