Piano Roll (though I'm sure it's not called that)

If memory serves me right, go into the line tool (or press L), you'll see it on the left.

^Actually, it's chord roll.... close enough, anyway.

Trill is horizontal.

It goes right to the left of the chord, in my experience. ;) I don't play piano, though. :think:

I don't play piano... but I think... to play a chord roll, you play all the notes that have the chord roll in it from the bottom note to the top note.... :unsure:

Yeah, it does. I was just saying where the symbol goes.

Anyway, close the topic. It isn't needed for the person anymore.
