The Note Selection Dialog

 

The Note Selection Dialog allows you to select notes based on pitch, tonicity, membership in scales or arpeggios, and or overtone relationships.

 

 

Note List

 All currently selected notes are checked in this list.  Notes can be checked/unchecked by simply clicking on the note.  This dialog is resizable, and can be expanded to view a more complete list of notes.

By right-clicking on this list, a context menu provides 4 more commands:

Check All Check all notes
Uncheck All Uncheck all notes
Invert Selection Check all currently unchecked notes, and uncheck all currently checked notes.
Reset Reset to the selections present when the dialog was first opened.

 
Each of the note-selectors described below works by:
  • setting selection criteria
  • check or uncheck Enforce Range.  When the range is "enforced", all selection criteria will be constrained to the selected note range.
  • pressing to select notes matching the criteria, or to deselect notes matching the criteria.

 

Note Range Select notes within a defined pitch range.  Select the bottom note from the first drop-down list, and the top note from the second drop-down list.  Notes spanning this range (inclusive) will be selected/deselected.
Key Select a key from the drop down.  All same-named keys will be selected/deselected.
Scales Select a tonality from the first drop down, and a modality from the second drop-down.  All notes in the selected scale-type will be selected/deselected.
Chord Select a tonality from the first drop-down, and a chord-type from the second drop down.  All notes within this an arpeggiation of this chord will be selected.
Overtones Using the currently selected note (i.e., the note which is hilited in the note list) as the fundamental, select which overtones to select/deselect.
OK Apply the current note selections and close the dialog.
Cancel Take no action and close the dialog.
