notes too close

[Alpha_Gator]

what's the best way to trim the end of a note?  i have sections of arpeggios where the notes are too close and EoF is having trouble.  can't seem to find a good reference on something so basic.

 

thanks

If you're wanting to shorten a note, select it by clicking on it and use the [ key or your mouse's scroll wheel. If the notes are close enough that it's hard to select a specific note to alter it this way, you may need to shorten the grid snap size (ie. with , and . or with the "Edit>Grid snap" menu) or temporarily disable grid snap entirely (you can easily toggle this on/off with the G key) so that the mouse doesn't jump from one grid snap position to the next and you can position the mouse anywhere. Even then, if the notes are still too close, you may have to zoom the chart in with the + key on the numberpad (or use Edit>Zoom to set a larger fraction, ie. 1/9 is more zoomed in than 1/10).
