2.1 / Win 7

Open the attached file. It has a few percussion notes entered in the first measure—Ride cymbals, Midi note D#3.

1. Select the first measure.
2. Use the UP arrow to move the notes by one step.
Expected result: The notes should now sound the china cymbal at E3.
Actual result: The notes are actually sounding "Hi Tom 1" at D3.

In other words, the keyboard arrows are moving the notes in the opposite direction to what you might expect.

The arrows move through your notes in the order they are presented in the drumset, as shown in the window at the bottom of the screen. Up moves to the previous item in the list, Down to the next, just as for any other list. This is, I believe, what users would expect. Most don't have a clue about MIDI pitches. If you feel otherwise, though, feel free to open a discussion on the forum.
