This is a sample diagram of a note before you put it down:
*Bar No. + x/y*
<=============>
*Horizontal Value* *Note Size*
CONFUSING INFO THAT YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE TO KNOW:
Bar No. + x/y: Bar No. is the bar of the song that you are about to place the note in. Exact timing depends on BPM of the song. (Music Theory) y is the number of sub intervals of the bar that the note can be snapped to (adjusted by C / V, recommend 4 or 8, use 12 to place at 1/3 intervals in bars) x is the sub interval that the note is being snapped onto.
The more intervals allowed to be snapped to means the shorter amount of time between each sub interval.
For a song with 4/4 time signature you can set y=4 then place down notes on 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4(not shown in editor) to have all 4 Beats in the bar to have notes on them. Or you can set y=16 and place notes at 4/16, 8/16, 12/16, 16/16 and achieve the same result. But having y at 16 means you can place more notes in between the timings of the 4 Beats in the bar
x/y is like which sub interval of the bar are u placing the note in, it represents the timing of the song that you are placing the note
Horizontal Value : The x coordinate on the axis (or the column) that the note is being placed on.
White Square: Shows up in EDIT Mode (When you press 4) when your mouse is hovered near a note. This note will be selected if you double click.
Blue Square: This square means that the current size you have selected (Size of the next note you place down if you do not change its size) is the same as the notes that have the blue square on them. When you see blue squares on multiple notes, note that they all have the same size.
Red Square: If a note has a red square it means that this note is in the same column as the note that you are about to place down. Very useful for aligning your notes.
Purple Square: This square means that this note is the same size and in the same column as the note that you are about to place down. (Blue + Red = Purple)
Yellow Square: Rarely shows up, seems like it does for no reason.
Grey Square: This seems to show up even less than the Yellow Square.
If anyone has any idea what these squares mean please do tell me, thanks.
