Navigating with a MIDI keyboard
When inputting chord symbols using a MIDI keyboard, by default the popover advances automatically to the next beat after you play a chord. You can change this behavior using the Advance during chord symbol input via MIDI keyboard options on the MIDI Input page in Note Input Options.
You can define specific keys or buttons on your MIDI keyboard to trigger different navigation behaviors. Use the MIDI Learn button on the Key Commands page in Preferences to assign specific keys to the Note Input > Advance Chord Symbol Input commands.
