Key commands for working with note events in the Detail Editor Panel default to action, allowing you to directly move notes. Once you have selected a note event, various functions are available from the computer keyboard.

To move selected note events by the current beat grid value: press LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW.

To move selected note events by a fine amount (one-sixteenth of the current beat grid value): press SHIFT+LEFT ARROW or SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW.

While action is the default behavior in the Detail Editor Panel, events can be selected as well.

To select the previous or next note event: press ALT+LEFT ARROW or ALT+RIGHT ARROW.

To extend selection to include the previous or next note event: press SHIFT+ALT+LEFT ARROW or SHIFT+ALT+RIGHT ARROW.

To make the selected note events shorter or longer by the current beat grid value: press CTRL+LEFT ARROW or CTRL+RIGHT ARROW.

To make the selected note events shorter or longer by a fine amount (one-sixteenth of the current beat grid value): press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+LEFT ARROW or CTRL+SHIFT+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW.

Additionally, events can be acted on directly to create or change their pitch and gain expressions.

To transpose selected note events by ±1 semitone (a half-step): press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW.

To transpose selected note events by an octave (±12 semitones) : press SHIFT+UP ARROW or SHIFT+DOWN ARROW.

To adjust gain for the selected note events by ±6 dB: press ALT+UP ARROW or ALT+DOWN ARROW.

To adjust gain for the selected note events by ±1 dB: press SHIFT+ALT+UP ARROW or SHIFT+ALT+DOWN ARROW.

When an event already contained gain expressions, all points are moved by the prescribed amount when these functions are used. And when an event contained no gain expression points, one is created at the beginning of the event and then set accordingly.

As with automation points, direct expression point editing is also possible via the computer keyboard.

To select the previous or next expression point within the current note event: press LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW.

To extend selection to include the previous or next expression point: press SHIFT+LEFT ARROW or SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW.

When an expression point is selected, all expression points of the same type for the current event can be selected via Select All, with CTRL+A (CMD+A on Mac).

While modifying selection is the default behavior when working with expression points, selected points can be moved as well.

To move selected expression points by the editor's current beat grid value: press ALT+LEFT ARROW or ALT+RIGHT ARROW.

To move selected expression points by a fine amount (one-sixteenth of the current beat grid value): press SHIFT+ALT+LEFT ARROW or SHIFT+ALT+RIGHT ARROW.

Additionally, the value of expression points can be directly adjusted.

To adjust selected expression points by a course value: press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW. Different expressions will move by the following course amounts.

To adjust the selected expression point by a fine value: press SHIFT+UP ARROW or SHIFT+DOWN ARROW. Different expressions will move by the following fine amounts.

When the Detail Editor Panel in Clip editing mode, additional items in the header of the panel can also be selected and moved.

To move the clip's loop Start time by the current beat grid value: select the clip loop indicator, and then press LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW. This will preserve the loop's length.

To move the clip's loop Start time by one bar: select the clip loop indicator, and then press SHIFT+LEFT ARROW or SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW.

To move the clip's Offset time by the current beat grid value: select the clip start indicator, and then press ALT+LEFT ARROW or ALT+RIGHT ARROW.

To move the clip's Offset time by one bar: select the clip start indicator, and then press SHIFT+ALT+LEFT ARROW or SHIFT+ALT+RIGHT ARROW.

When Looping is disabled, the same commands can move the clip end marker (representing the clip Length).

And when an Arranger cue marker is selected (either in the Arranger Timeline Panel, in a Detail Editor Panel, or in the Sections tab of the Project Panel):

To move selected cue markers by the current beat grid value: press ALT+LEFT ARROW or ALT+RIGHT ARROW.

To move selected cue markers by one bar: press SHIFT+ALT+LEFT ARROW or SHIFT+ALT+RIGHT ARROW.

Making a time selection is as simple as clicking anywhere in the Detail Editor Panel with the Time Selection tool. Once time is selected, key commands default to moving between relevant events, as these are likely good editing points.

For working with notes, these events include:

Keyboard navigation with time selection defaults to moving between these relevant events.

To move to the next or previous relevant event: press LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW.

To create or extend a selection to the next or previous relevant event: press SHIFT+LEFT ARROW and SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW.

To jump to the first or last relevant event: press CTRL+LEFT ARROW or CTRL+RIGHT ARROW (CMD+LEFT ARROW or CMD+RIGHT ARROW on Mac). Additionally, you can add SHIFT to create a selection, or to extend your current selection.

And again, an alternate gesture allows for a different idea — in this case, moving relative to the current beat grid interval.

To move using the editor's current beat grid marker value: press ALT+LEFT ARROW or ALT+RIGHT ARROW.

To move by a fine amount (one-sixteenth of the current beat grid value): press SHIFT+ALT+LEFT ARROW or SHIFT+ALT+RIGHT ARROW.

Note that this is useful, even when only a single point in time is selected. Various functions available in the Time menu (or the context menu) support quick editing in this fashion.
