Instead of using the matrix (piano roll) editor, open the segment (region) with the Event List Editor. There's a toolbar button for "Filter Selection" (it looks like a funnel filled with oil to me!). It allows to select set up some criteria based on pitch, velocity, or duration. However, I can't really figure out how event editing is supposed to work. If I select 2 events, right-click, and try to edit them, it only edits the last event selected. The Filter just seems to de-select everything I've selected, so I'm not sure what that's supposed to do either. :( I didn't try reading the manual, but maybe there's a way to make it work? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
