Editing

The Edit tab is a piano roll for fixing notes by hand. Use it for the small things a new take or Inpaint wouldn't fix, like one wrong note or a missing star power phrase.

The Edit tab with a few notes selected on the piano roll

Start

Pick a take and open the Edit tab, or press Tab on the Inpaint tab. The highway above plays what you're editing, so you can hear each change right away.

The roll has one row per fret, green to orange, with star power and solo phrases below. The song map at the top shows the sections: click one to jump there.

Notes

To	Do this
Add a note	Click empty space in the roll. Click the other frets at the same spot to build a chord.
Select notes	Drag a box around them. `Shift`-click adds to the selection.
Move notes	Drag them.
Make a sustain	Drag a note's end.
Delete notes	Right-click, or select and press `Del`.

Note tools

Select notes, then use the buttons beside the roll or their keys.

Tool	Key	What it does
Tap	`T`	Makes the notes taps.
HOPO	`H`	Flips the notes between strum and hammer-on / pull-off.
Star power	`S`	Makes a star power phrase over the notes.
Solo		Marks the notes as a solo section.
Snap to grid	`Q`	Moves the notes onto the grid.
Split chord		Spreads a chord out into single notes.
Delete	`Del`	Deletes the notes.

Grid

New and moved notes snap to the grid: off, or 1/4 down to 1/32, including triplets (1/12 and 1/24). Pick it under the note tools.

Saving

Edits save as you go, into an edited copy of the take (Edit 1, Edit 2…). The take you started from is never changed, so you can always go back to it. Put the edited copy in the final chart like any other take.

Ctrl Z undoes and Ctrl Shift Z redoes.

Mouse and keys

The ? above the roll shows these too.

Key	What it does

`L`	Loop
`T` `H` `S` `Q`	Tap, HOPO, star power, snap
`Del`	Delete notes
`Tab`	Switch to Inpaint
`Ctrl` `Z`	Undo
