Misc

Toggle between Movement and Selection modes:

M

In Movement mode selected notes move when arrow keys are pressed (↑, ↓, ←, → ). Selection mode cycles through the notes when the arrow keys are pressed.

Selection mode seems odd; It's hard to anticipate which note will be highlighted next when pushing a given arrow key. In general I found this feature confusing and usually just stay in Movement mode, opting to select notes with mouse + cursor.

Marquee mode (multi-select):

click + drag
