The Piano Window looks much like the Arrange Window with the difference that it will display only one track at a time and that from this track only the note events are shown. The resolution of the screen is much finer than that of the Arrange Window, so notes can be inserted and manipulated at precise pitches and intervals.

Toggles between the Display All Tracks and Display Single Track options. When the Display All Tracks option is chosen, notes of other tracks are shown, too, with a somewhat different colouring. However, you still cannot edit these notes until you have selected the track, that contains them. To find the track that contains a note, scroll through the tracks using the arrow keys until the note turns from pale to deep green (or blue). |

Possible mouse actions in this window are:
After having chosen this mode, left-click on a note, wait a short moment, until a selection frame appears around it and then drag it to the new position. This also works with many notes selected. If the zoom level is large enough, you can watch the note's name change while you're dragging it. You will find, that this is very useful for locating the correct pitches, so always consider the zoom level before you're going to transpose anything.
Select the notes to be deleted with 'Select mode', then open the context menu by right-clicking anywhere into the display and choose Delete Selected Notes.
Select Velocity/Length Mode, select the target notes and then start dragging one of them. Moving the mouse upwards will make the note quieter, moving it downwards will make it louder, horizontal movement will at the same time change the note length.
Select Draw as mouse mode and specify the intended length with the Length drop-down menu. Then use the mouse as a pen to insert notes at the desired pitches and positions. The Snap Value decides at which positions notes may be drawn.
Select Fill as mouse mode and click on a bar at the height of the intended pitch to fill it with a single-pitched row of notes. The distance between the notes will accord to the Snap Value and all notes will have the length specified by the Length menu.
