# Resizing notes

Karedi supports multiple ways of changing the notes length.

### Move the start or end by one beat with shortcuts or via menu

To move the note's start, use `ctrl + ←` or `ctrl + →` shortcut.

To move the note's end, use `alt + ←` or `alt + →` shortcut.

You can also do the same actions from the menu _Edit_ -> _Start/End_ -> _Earlier/Later_.

### Set the desired length by typing it out

To set the length of the selected note to the desired value just type out the desired legth, e.g. if you want to change the length to 12 beats just press "1" key and immediately after that press "2" key. If you are too slow, Karedi will interpret it as two length changes - first to length 1 and later to length 2.

### Resize the note with the mouse

Hover your mouse over left or right edge of the note until you see cursor change to ⭤  symbol. Now click and drag the mouse until the notes has the desired length.
