To view the length of time that a note plays for, do the follow...

1. Go into Notation Mode.

2. Activate "Staff Roll Notation" as shown on the image below.

Two blue lines appear on the note-head. The vertical line shows the note's volume and the horizontal line shows how long the note plays for.

As can be seen on the note with the red circle around it (this is the first bass note in bar 7), it only plays for a short time.

This situation usually arises if you've been adding and deleting notes of different time values in this section of the bar.

To lengthen how long a note plays for, there are two easy ways...

1. Simply position the mouse cursor in the centre of the note-head and left-click once. The note's length will then automatically increase to fill the note's written value.

2. Alternatively, position the mouse cursor in the centre of the note-head and right-click and hold the mouse button down. Now drag the mouse cursor horizontally to the right to manually lengthen the blue line.

Noel
