Is there a way to bypass playback for note input / editing? I often find myself turning on and off the main volume control switching between audio applications. Having a shortcut to turn-off the playback would be helpful.
In Preferences > Note Input and Editing, under “Auditioning” you can turn off “Play notes during note input and selection”. I have this off most of the time, but sometimes I use it. Unfortunately there isn’t a way to assign a shortcut to this, or script the change, but it’s pretty easy to get to in Preferences.
Thank you for the tips @benwiggy and @Mark_Johnson ! The solution with muting the master fader works. It tends to take a while to process with larger projects but does the trick. Setting the Auditioning preferences helps too, though it doesn’t take into account note input from a MIDI keyboard.
