For example, you can cut or paste MIDI, and have the MIDI clips on one or more tracks shift back or forward in time to accommodate the cut or paste. The shift workflow allows you to edit MIDI and keep your arrangement flowing around your edits.
You can select a range with the Select Editing Tool, draw a selection with the selection rectangle, select contiguous or non-contiguous notes by shift-clicking individual notes, or select specific notes from the Notes View Keyboard.
To select a range in a MIDI clip, hover your mouse above the vertical middle of the clip. Note: In Notes view, you can only select a MIDI clip from the top of the clip. To select a clip, click near the vertical top or bottom of the clip. Note: For clip editing functions (except for making selections), Clips and Notes view behave the same, so Notes view is used for some examples in this section. The two main editing views on a MIDI (Instrument) track are Clips and Notes. In Notes view, there are additional note-level selection and editing features. Clips can be edited, copied and moved as individual objects that contain groups of notes. MIDI has some special editing functions because you can work with MIDI both as clips and as individual notes.
