Selecting One or More Objects Before Editing Them

An object must be selected before it can be edited or deleted. You can simultaneously select and edit multiple objects of the same type.

To select an object:

1.      If the current mode is Add Mode, then enter Select Mode by clicking the button, by pressing the ENTER key, or by right-clicking the mouse anywhere in the score.

2.      Place the mouse over the object, and click the left mouse button.

To select multiple objects of the same type.

1.      Click on an object, hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse over the score. Composer will select objects of the same type during the drag. For example, if you start the mouse drag at a note, then only more notes will be selected, not other types of objects such as lyrics.

2.      To select an additional object of the same type, hold down the SHIFT key and click the object.

3.      To add several more objects to the list of already selected objects, hold down the SHIFT key and drag the mouse over the additional objects.

4.      To remove some objects from the list of selected objects, hold down the SHIFT key and click them individually, or

 drag the mouse over them.
