Howdy friends,

This pair of tutorial videos covers the basics of note editing, including the following points:



Various methods of selecting notes (they have to be selected in order to be edited)
Deleting notes
Shifting the pitch via mouse or keyboard
Editing accidentals and changing enharmonic spelling
Voices and stem direction (and how they can help clarify choral parts, or other "moving" pieces)
Hiding rests to keep the score cleaner
Note duration tools and shortcuts
Shifting notes left or right "in time" on the score
Ties - "to count or to clean"

I've split the video into two smaller segments, to hopefully keep them "digestable" and to make loading and playing them a bit easier. These are only the most basic note editing features. We'll deal with special features for cleaning up recordings, ReBar (adjusting the barlines for metronomeless recordings), and Piano tips in separate videos.
