There is another method that is both faster and more accurate than entering notes one-at-a-time like that.

The QWERTY Keyboard Wizard

Quote:

The Wizard intelligent play along feature (from QWERTY or MIDI keyboard) is recordable to the melody track. Also, play along using the Wizard can use the harmony feature, so you can play along live from your QWERTY or MIDI keyboard in 4-part Saxophone harmony.

To select the Wizard, check the Wizard checkbox. Then you can play along on the bottom 2 rows of the keyboard.


To record the Wizard, press R to record, and play the Wizard. This will be recorded.

Tip: You can use the feature of recording the Wizard to enter music without a MIDI keyboard that doesn’t sound as stiff as most music entered in step time. Here’s how it works:

- Press the [Rec] button to record.

- As the song plays, play the melody that you want on any Wizard key, using the same key for each note, in the rhythm of the melody.

- The Wizard notes won’t be the correct melody of course, but don’t worry about that as you record.

- When you’re finished, go to the Notation window. You now have the notes with the correct durations and times, but the wrong pitches.

- One by one, drag the notes (with the left mouse button) up to the correct melody note. Hold down the Shift/Ctrl/Alt keys for sharps, flats, and naturals respectively.

You’ll then have entered a melody that sounds like it was recorded from a keyboard, without the stiff sound of a melody entered in step time!




This will bypass all the problems you are creating for yourself.
