# Selection
How can notes be selected?
Notes can be selected in various ways.
## Selecting notes with mouse
### By clicking
To select a single note just click on it.
If you want to add another note to the selection press `ctrl` or `shift` (depending on the behaviour you want) and while keeping it pressed click on the note you want to select.
If you press `ctrl` you will add only the clicked note to the selection:
If you press `shift` you will select all notes in between as well:
### By dragging
You can also select the notes by clicking somewhere and dragging the mouse.
When mouse click is released all notes inside the area will get selected:
## Selecting notes with shortcuts
### Changing selected note
To change the selected note press `←` or `→` arrow keys.
### Changing selection size
