How to audition all MIDI notes while scrolling the mouse at the Piano Roll?

I used to do that long time ago (Twelve Tone Systems Cakewalk), but I forget things as I get old 😅

I find this feature useful for learning to play chords from a MIDI file with the guitar

Keyboard shortcut J toggles the scrub tool

With the scrub tool enabled, click-drag plays notes in the PRV

Select a single note, and use Tab and Shift+Tab to play the next/previous note.  This is what we used to do in the Event List with Shift+Spacebar. Tab now works there as well, and Shift+Spacebar now temporarily loops a selection (most often used in the clips view for auditioning comp clips).

"J" That was the magic key. Thank you!
 

Selecting a note and pressing Tab  only plays single notes, not chords

True. I kind of overlooked that you specifically mentioned using the mouse in the PRV, and was thinking you were referring to much older pre-Windows flavors of  Cakewalk that wouldn't have had a scrub tool.
