Hello,
How do I enter notes into the score? The help section tells you to click the “Select” tool and then choose a note. When you do this, the “Select” tool is deselected and the Draw tool is automatically selected. I’d be happy with this choice; the problem is that inserting a note creates all the sounds of the notes you cross on the staff. If you mute the sound with the Acoustic Feedback tool, then there’s no sound at all.
Thanks in advance.
Marc

Not quite sure what your question is. With a note chosen, you can click on a staff to create this note. With acoustic feedback enabled you hear any intermediate note position, and also selected or created notes.
Thank you Stefan,
That’s THE problem, I don’t want to hear anything before clicking on the score. But when I’m clicking on the score and only at this time I’d like to hear the sound of the note I entered.

I think I found a solution (not the best one, but it can help to work without hearing all the notes from the time I hover the mouse over the score until I found where I want to write it. I click on “1” to select the “select” tool then, when I am on the position I want to write the note, I click on “8” (that select the “draw” tool. This is definitely not the best way and if anyone has a better one, you are welcome…
We’ll look at offering a bit more flexibility in future, thanks for your feedback.
I’m facing the same ”problem”, very strange and frustrating, the select tool doesn’t work to add notes and the draw tool plays every single note until reaching the position you want. I went back to cubasee 13 because of it.

that silly cascade of notes is extremely distracting when trying to notate an idea…

That makes no sense.
Hearing all the notes while you move the mouse is only a terrible noise, not musical at all. No score editor (including Dorico) works that way.
As says @Marc-Cubase it is only logical to hear the note once you click on the score.

Auditioning notes with the draw tool will turned off by default in an upcoming patch release.
Yes, please. That would be great.
Thanks.
This is interesting to me!
As someone who composes by ear in the Score Editor, I need to be able to hear all potential pitches as I position a note on the stave.
Even though it is an unpopular option for many, I hope it will remain as an option.
It is because of uncertainty about this stuff that I have remained with Cubase 13 and the old Score Editor.
Thanks
@jamieboo check out Dorico 6 as well then, because that does also have the ability to audition the notes as you hover across the positions on the stave - including an note input preference to disabled that behaviour.
Dorico is ok!
I have been using it alongside Cubase since I sensed that it would replace Michael Michaelis’ Score Editor.
However, we have been using this feature since it was introduced (many, many years ago!). It would not be right, for “old folks”, to remove it. It would be more useful for everyone to make it an option in the Cubase preferences, as already mentioned here:
