Copying, cutting, and nudging a selection

Ctrl+C/Ctrl+X/Ctrl+V copy, cut, and paste the current selection (or the event at the cursor, if nothing’s selected); Delete removes it. All four respect an active filter (see Narrowing what a selection affects) when a real range is selected.

Nudging

Nudge moves the selected events earlier or later in time by a fixed duration step — it’s a rhythmic shift, not a transpose, so pitch never changes. F6 N opens a picker of duration glyphs (whole note down to 16th) to set the step size, then Alt+← / Alt+→ applies it in that direction. The space the events vacate is filled with a rest, whatever they land on is overwritten, and every affected measure reflows to keep the notation clean.

Tips

• Set the nudge step once and it sticks — repeated Alt+←/Alt+→ presses keep using it until you change it.
• Reach for Transposing a selection instead if you want to change pitch rather than timing.
