There is a new section in the Preferences > Scores > Editing:
-
Computer Keyboard Note Entry: Legato
- disabled by default = the same behavior as it was in C8.5
- enabled = Open Score Editor; Enable Compute Keyboard Input; Hold-down Alt modifier, insert a MIDI Note. Keep Alt down, use right-arrow to move your next note later (not the very next Grid value). Set the MIDI Pitch; Hit Enter. The 1st note length is extended up to the 2nd Note = legato.
-
Computer Keyboard Note Entry: Require Alt Key
- enabled by default = the same behavior as it was in C8.5
- disabled = You don’t have to hold down the Alt modifier to be able to insert MIDI Notes in the Score Editor. The Note is ready to be inserted immediately.
-
Computer Keyboard Note Entry: Use Virtual Keyboard Key
- disabled by default = the same behavior as it was in C8.5
- enabled = (Require Alt Key has to be disabled, to make it work) even if the Virtual Keyboard is hidden, you can use the QWERTY keyboard to insert a MIDI Notes. Q = C; W = D, etc. Same as it is on the Virtual Keyboard.
