arrow keys repetition in MIDI editing

Postby srosenberg » Tue Feb 08, 2011 11:51 pm

It would be helpful to have the left and right arrow keys nudge MIDI notes continuously left or right as long as the key is held down. As it is now, in order to move a note right or left, one has to constantly restrike the arrow key for each nudge. For cases where one needs to move a note more than a couple nudges, this change would be helpful and also bring the program's behavior more in line with the effect of sustained key pressing in other programs such as Finale and even in Word.

Huh?

After I go to the graphic editor and use the '[' & ']' keys to select a note (also use the shift-key to extend selection) I can hold the arrow keys to move a note and it moves as long as the note is held down.

Do you have a problem with your keyboard repeat?

Problem relates to Metro 6.4.7

After seeing your reply I checked the Metro version I was using. In 6.4.7 the issue of notes not continuously moving when arrow keys are held down is as I initially reported. However I downloaded 6.4.9. and found that arrow keys do perform properly there. Thanks for the post.
