MIDI tool/Show Selected Notes

This command, only available if the MIDI Tool split-window is open, tells Finale to draw lines in the graph area for only notes whose handles are selected. If you're working with a notationally dense score, for example, or if you're trying to work with an inner melody in a chordal passage, choose this option to hide the graph lines for the notes that aren't essential to what you're doing. (Because MIDI controller data isn't associated with individual notes, this command is not available if Continuous Data is selected in the MIDI/Audio menu.)
