How to set "Play As Written"

See my summary of these options here: can I quantize underlying Real-Time-MIDI-recorded data easily after the fact? - #5 by PaulWalmsley

The main 2 use cases:

  1. If you use MIDI recording just as a means of getting notes into the score, you probably want ‘Preserve note positions’ and ‘Preserve note velocities’ off
  2. If you use MIDI recording to capture a performance and you want to hear the same timing and dynamics during playback then set the Preserve options to on.

The ‘Remove Playback Overrides’ function is for the case when your preferences were set for option 2 above, and you’ve recorded via MIDI, but now you realise that you want option 1.
