Select multiple events in Piano Roll

[OldNick]

I am trying to select multiple events in the PRV. I can't do it by right-dragging, because I want to select events that are in a rectangle that contains events I do not want to select.

The only instruction I can find (Help fails to launch in CWbB) says to use the Shift key to add to the selection, but that is not working for me: it just select the next clicked event and deselects the last one.

Thanks for any help

Using the CTRL key will allow you to add/remove individual events to your selection. You can either individually left click select them or right click+drag. Dragging over previously selected events (while holding CTRL) will deselect them.

OK that's weird. I tried the Ctrl with the selection tool and it does not work, and neither does Shift. But yeah with the smart tool Ctrl does work ( I thought I had tried that ????).

So thanks for that hint. Still a bit confused what happened, as Ctrl is the standard  and I thought I would have had a go.

Anyway, it now works and many thanks for your help.
