Opening the Staff view

There are several ways to open the Staff view:

In the Track view, select the MIDI tracks you want to see, then choose Views > Staff View, or press ALT+7.

Right-click on a track in the Clips pane and choose Views > Staff View on the pop-up menu.

You can always change the tracks that are displayed: in the Staff view, click the Track menu, choose Pick Tracks and select the tracks you want. You can display one or more tracks.

The Staff view lets you edit, delete, copy, and move notes during playback or recording, in real time. This means you can loop over a portion of your project and hear any change you make on the next loop. You can freeze the Staff view from automatic scrolling during playback by pressing the SCROLL LOCK key.

The Staff view includes zoom tools that let you change the vertical and horizontal scale of the view.

Displaying tracks

The Staff view also has a Track List pane that allows you to set a track’s Mute/Solo/Arm status and to change track focus.

To view the Track List pane:

Click the Staff view Track menu and choose Show/Hide Track Pane.

To set track focus:

In the Track List pane, click the track name.

To mute, solo, or arm a track:

In the Track List pane, click a track’s M, S, or R buttons, respectively.

Note: You can right-click in the Track List pane to access Snap to Scale commands. For more information about this feature, see Snap to Scale.
