Even though the Edit windows all look fairly different, they have many similar functions. In this chapter you will find all things common to several editors, while the features that are unique to the different editors are described in the following chapters.
You will no doubt find a special way to work with the editors that fits you personally, but the following suggestions may be of help if you’re new to the program:Use Key Edit when...
• You want to get a quick overview of the Events.
• You want to edit several Parts at the same time.
• You’re editing velocity values or when you’re editing Continuous messages and want to view the notes at the same time (see page 189).
• You need to perform detailed editing of single Events.
• You’re editing System Exclusive, Mute or Stop Events (see page 225).
Use Drum Edit when...
• You are editing Drum Parts.
Use Score Edit when...
• You are used to reading and writing scores.
• You are using a professional score printing version of Cubase VST, and are preparing your music for printing.
• You want to edit MIDI data “mathematically”, by setting up criteria for which Events should be affected, and specifying exactly how these should be changed. See the chapter “Logical Edit”.
P Key, Drum and Score Edit can be used to edit any combination of Parts from different Tracks. List Edit can only be used for Parts on one Track at a time.
