The MIDI Editor’s menus and action list contain any number of techniques that you can use for precision navigation: we’ll get to these shortly. First, you should familiarise yourself with the tools that you have available for “broad brush” navigation. The horizontal and vertical scroll bars in the MIDI Editor window are used for scrolling, and their respective plus and minus buttons can be used for vertical and horizontal zooming. You can also use your mousewheel. This can be customized in the Actions List Editor (see Chapter 15), but by default the settings are:
Mousewheel: Horizontal Zoom Ctrl Mousewheel: Vertical Zoom Alt Mousewheel: Horizontal Scroll Ctrl Alt Mousewheel: Vertical Scroll
The keyboard shortcuts PageUp and PageDown can be used to zoom in/out vertically, and + and – to zoom in and out horizontally. These too can be changed in the Actions List Editor if you wish.
