Which action describes selecting notes on a MIDI or Instrument track using the mini keyboard?

• A. Open the notes view and select notes on the mini keyboard while pressing command-click to add to the selection
• B. Use the main keyboard to input notes while holding shift
• C. Drag selection with the mouse only
• D. Use the ruler to shift timing

Answer: (A)

Selecting notes on a MIDI or Instrument track with the mini keyboard is done by using the notes view and clicking on notes with the on-screen mini keyboard, then adding to the selection by holding the Command key while you click. This lets you pick multiple notes across pitch ranges to edit or move them together. The other options don’t involve using the mini keyboard to select existing notes: inputting notes with the main keyboard adds new notes rather than selecting existing ones, dragging with the mouse is a different way to select by area, and shifting timing with the ruler affects timing, not note selection.
