Deleting notes

You can delete notes from your project without deleting other items, such as dynamics, octave lines, or playing techniques.

1. In Write mode, select the notes you want to delete.
2. Delete the notes in any of the following ways:

   • Press Backspace or Delete.

   • Choose Edit > Delete. You can also choose this option from the context menu.

Result

The selected notes are deleted from your project and are replaced by implicit rests as appropriate.

If a slur began or ended on a deleted note, the slur is automatically repositioned to the next/previous notehead. If only one note is left under a slur, the slur is automatically deleted.

Holds and pauses are not deleted. They are positioned above the note/rest closest to their rhythmic position, or over whole bar rests if you delete all notes in a bar.
