Can't get replace note switch to work

Marty

I am trying to edit a series of sequential notes. In Settings I turn on the switch labeled Replace Notes as instructed in the Edit Notes section of the Manual. However after I edit one note, the selection does not advance to the next note. I am on an Ipad2 in the Select mode and I have the keyboard down. What am I doing wrong?

When you say that you have the keyboard down, do you mean that the keyboard is showing? I just tried it, and it works correctly for me with the keyboard showing. I enter a pitch to change the note, and the cursor advances to the next note. (Not the note, actually, but just to the left of the note.)

Thanks for responding. I think I see what I was doing wrong. I was in Select mode and you have to be on Insert mode (crayon) for the Replace Note switch to work. Right?

Mikey

Yes, Insert mode.

Support

Thanks for helping out our users Mikey. To reiterate, yes, you have to be in insert mode and use the keyboard for replacing notes.

Best,

Mikey

You can also change pitches in insert mode without the keyboard. Tap on the note, and then drag it to the new pitch. I find that an enlarged view and a stylus is invaluable for this sort of thing. Or select the note, and use the arrow keys to change the pitch and move to the next note.
