- When playing-back a pattern in realtime-control-mode, you first
- have to set the accent-level to the most right in the
- pattern-editor, if you want any accent at all. Then, from the
- pattern-playback window, control the amount of accent in realtime
- with the accent-knob. If you don't want any accent on a note, set
- the accent-slider the the most left in the pattern-editor.

-
- To alter a complete column in the pattern-editor, for example to
- get all sliders of the cutoff a bit to the right, simply click with
- the right mousebutton on the label of the column and hold it. By
- moving the mouse to the left or right while holding the rmb, you
- move all sliders in that direction.

-
- By pressing with the right mousebutton on the PLAY button (top
- right) you immediately start the pattern-playback without any
- windows coming to you. This is ideal for testing your current
- pattern. You can also do it by pressing the Right Amiga Key while
- holding the Shift Key.

-
- If you once have set a range but you want to get rid of the range,
- just press on the right mouse-button in the edit-field, and
- immediately let it go. Then you see that the range is disappeared!
- You can also press the [Backspace] key to discard the range.
-

-
- By holding the right mouse-button in the edit-field while moving
- your mouse, you can set a new range. Draw a box by moving the
- mouse and let your mouse-button go when you want to set it.
-

-
- If you set the option 'Pop Up?' in the menu-item 'Range', a window
- pops up immediately after you've set a range with the right mouse-
- button. The window allows you to copy or cut your just marked
- range.

-
- Use the Protracker-compatible keyboard shortcuts to copy, cut and
- paste a column or pattern (current column is the hilighted one):
-
- [Shift] + [F3] - Cut column [Alt] + [F3] - Cut pattern
- [Shift] + [F4] - Copy column [Alt] + [F4] - Copy pattern
- [Shift] + [F5] - Paste column [Alt] + [F5] - Paste pattern

- If you sometimes wonder why certain actions result in a RED FLASH
- and nothing happens afterwords, then set the 'Show Info' item on
- active. You'll see that the titlebar has changed into an infobar.
- After an illogical action which results in an error (red flash),
- the infobar reports what went wrong, for example if you wanted to
- copy something but you didn't set a range to be copied.

- To discard (read: put away) a range with the keyboard, simply press
- [Backspace]. That's the key above the [Enter] key.

-
- To quickly copy, edit or paste notes (in the note column, left),
- you can use the [Control] key along with some special keys:
-
- [Control] + [B] -> Mark range from current cursor position
- [Control] + [V] -> Paste buffer contents to current cursor-position
- [Control] + [+] / [-] -> Transpose notes in current marked range
