I usually use interpolate to do this, but can I do it in PRV?
Long time user and with shame at not knowing this I humbly ask for your assistance:
If I have a midi track and I want to find all notes at velocity of say 88 or higher and bring them down to 88, I use interpolate (or now find/replace).
Can I do that in PRV for a small section? In other words, drag across the higher velocity notes and have only those notes decrease their velocity?
Confusing post to put into words, I know.
I can draw velocities, but I basically want to only adjust the velocities of the louder notes and leave the others unchanged. I want to cut off the peaks of the mountains, if that makes sense.
How to do?

I do a lot of accompaniment tracks for a voice studio, so lots of sight-read playing with mostly accurate notes, but sometimes awkward dynamic phrasing.

OK.. why wouldn't select the effected measures and then use FIND/REPLACE (Interpolate) only those velocities... and yes you can select the measures in PRV to limit the section of the MIDI file to which you want to edit.

That's what I currently do.
Just wondering if it can be done with a mouse stroke. Basically cutting off the velocities in a quick edit on the fly while listening back.

You would need to select the notes first. Then you can adjust the velocities of just those selected notes by hovering near the top of one of the notes and then clicking/dragging up/down.

I've run into this or similar situations many times... You found the best way of doing it currently... Use Interpolate. any other method is usually very tedious due to the need to select the notes. If there was some method of lasso that allowed us to concatenate. Sorry I don't have better news... ;-) Keni

Keni - Scott's suggestion will actually do the trick beautifully.
One additional suggestion: You can select the offending notes via their velocity and then make the adjustments via the notes. Here, I made a little viddy: http://www.screencast.com/users/kahlilg/folders/Jing/media/45df50fd-f50a-4c48-8f4b-f0d2b5e4a5d1 Thanks, Scott . . . . this is extremely useful for the way I often use this software. By the way, is this something that I could have done in previous versions & just didn't ask/know/realize?

I'm sorry... I agree with you. I guess I didn't say what I was thinking very well. Scotts method works very well when things are "right". It all depends on how available the notes are to grab. I often do this in tiny groups of a few notes at a time and repeat the procedure as often as needed. I was picturing a difficult type I've run into in the past and it got quickly stuck in my brain... I'm sorry if I was misleading... I read/replied too fast... ;-) Keni
