aWc,
Your eyesight must be considerably better than mine, as I could not read that instruction, on the zoomed version of the tiny window, until I had enlarged the standalone application of Pianoteq to Huge.
Being able to read it doesn't help either since pressing ":" still doesn't start the selection.
Checking with the keyboard shortcuts menu, "Select Range" is definitely mapped to ":", so the problem lies elsewhere.
Now, of course, on my English (UK) 'qwerty' computer keyboard, I have to type "Shift + :" to actually enter ":". However, I do note that "Record Midi" is mapped to "*" and "Load last recorded sequence" is mapped to "Shift + *", which, on my keyboard, is the same key stroke combination in order to input "*".
As a matter of interest, Pianoteq loads the last recorded sequence when I input "*"
If you look at the French 'azerty' keyboard layout

you will note that both ":" and "*" can be entered with a single keystroke and that the keystroke combination "Shift + *" is a totally different kettle of fish from "*".
The solution is, therefore, to remap the keystroke combination for "Select range" to something like "/", which on the qwerty keyboard is a single stroke. This will then work as designed and select a portion of the MIDI file for you.
Looking at all the keystroke shortcuts, one might need to do a bit of tweaking on the list in order to adjust for the different language keyboards.
