 === Wrapping ===
-Sometimes, because of range constraints, long melodic lines will often need to be wrapped, similar to the way we wrap notes for the 5-button guitar/bass.  When doing this, be sure to wrap in a spot that makes both rhythmic and melodic sense and be sure to observe the interval jumping rules as the apply to different difficulties.

 The lane shift occurs in-game where you place the lane shift note. However, you need to actually shift the track approximately one bar earlier than the first note that's out of range.
-Lane shifts need to occur approximately one bar before the first note that is out of range of the current range (depending on the tempo of the song). Notes that are out of range will appear off the side of the track. Because of this, we try to add lane shift markers as early as possible, in a part of the song where there are notes shared by both the current range and the range you’re shifting to.

+Keyboard animations should be placed on PART KEYS_ANIM_RH and PART KEYS_ANIM_LH respectively.   They should be placed between C2-C4.
-* The majority of keyboard parts are RH only.  In these cases the authoring from the Expert Pro Keys part can just be copied into the RH keyboard animation track.  If there is a  LH keyboard part, it can be authored in broad strokes, but make sure that it lines up to the rhythm of the song in a reasonable way.
-* The most challenging thing about authoring keyboard animations, is that the character only has 3 octaves to play with on the keyboard in game.  This means that the center octave is shared by both the right and left hand (ie: C2-C3 in the RH animation shares the same octave as C3-C4 in the LH animations).  If there is a LH part, you may need to cheat the RH higher and the LH lower in the range to avoid clipping.

-* An easy way of creating the animation tracks is to initially transcribe the entire keyboard parts for the song including LH. That way you will have all the parts you need for Expert authoring as well as animations.
 == Overdrive ==
 Overdrive is placed on Pro Key tracks the same way you would place it for a guitar or drum track. For Keyboards, you must place Overdrive in the 5 lane and Expert Pro Keys tracks, and they need to match. See the [[Overdrive and Big Rock Endings]] document for more details.

-* Trills markers trigger free form lanes to appear on the track that allows the player to play a trill, between two notes, without playing the actual authored rhythm of the part.  As long as the player is alternating between the two notes at 160ms or faster, they will be allowed to continue playing in the free form lanes.  If they dip below 160ms, the free form lanes will disappear, and they will be forced to play to the rhythm at which the part is authored.
-** The threshold of 160ms is a hard coded number, so edge cases can creep up, if the tempo of the song is too low or too fast, where using a trill marker may not feel as good as just playing the authored rhythm.
