Note events and CC (other) events

Edit: Paste (CMD ID 40011)

Sections:MIDI Editor, Event list, Inline Editor
Pastes MIDI events that have previously been cut or copied starting at the edit cursor's time position

Edit: Paste preserving position in measure (Cmd ID 40429)

Sections:MIDI Editor, Event list, Inline Editor
Pastes MIDI events that have previously been cut or copied. Start time is the first beat of the measure the edit cursor is in, while the events keep their offset to the start of the measure. Say, you copied a note at 5.2 into the clipboard and the edit cursor is somewhere between 6.1.000 and 6.4.999, this action will paste it at 6.2.

Note events only

Edit: Insert note at edit cursor (Cmd ID 40051)

Sections:MIDI Editor, Event list, Inline Editor
Inserts a note event at the crossing of the vertical edit cursor and the horizontal selected note row => see active position. The length is determined by setting the "Notes:" field at the bottom of the Piano roll editor or optionally by selecting/drawing a note of the desired length. The edit cursor will advance to the end of the note.

Edit: Insert note at mouse cursor (Cmd ID 40001)
