The Audio Part Editor
The Audio Part editor allows you to edit the contents of an audio part, 
i.e. the individual events within the part. The editing you can do here is 
basically the same as when editing audio events directly in the Project 
window, but you have additional features for auditioning (editor solo, 
play and loop) and the option to place different events on different 
lanes, making it easier to discern and edit the events. Note that you

The MIDI editors
Editing MIDI data is done using the MIDI editors. The following editors 
are available:
Key Editor
The Key Editor shows the contents of one or several MIDI parts. The 
MIDI notes are represented by “boxes”, whose vertical position corre-
sponds to their pitch.
This box represents a MIDI note.
This section is called the controller display. It shows “continuous” MIDI events (such as 
controllers) or as in this figure, the velocity values of notes.

In-Place editing
The In-Place editing function allows you to edit events and parts directly 
in the Project window, in context with other tracks. It is very similar to 
the Key editor.
Score Editor
The Score Editor shows MIDI notes as a musical score and comes 
with advanced tools and functions for notation, layout and printing.
Full Score editing is described in the separate pdf document “Score Lay-
out and Printing”. This can be accessed vie the Help menu in the program.
