Songling

Touch and files

Made for fingers first, with a keyboard and trackpad welcome, and files that go where you want them.

With your fingers

  • Drag a chord. Put a finger on a chord and move it: along the strip, or from the key row into your song.
  • Double tap to add. Double tap a chord in the key row and it joins your song.
  • Two fingers to scroll. In the melody grid, the Sketch and the chord strips, one finger draws, picks or sweeps, and two fingers scroll.
  • Grips on every note. Both ends of a note have a grip a fingertip can catch.
  • Undo, always in reach. Undo and Redo sit beside File on the Song page, the Sketch and Create Progression.

Keys and pointers

A keyboard

Keyboard shortcuts work with a keyboard attached. The Guide lists them under Touch & keys.

Several at once

In the figure editor, Shift, Option and Command buttons stay down for your next tap, so you can pick several notes.

A trackpad or mouse

Works as well, for anyone who'd rather point.
