I can't reproduce this in either 0.9.7 or CVS.  I tried setting the 
time sig to 12/8 then creating a two-bar segment at the start of a 
track, then opening that in notation and inserting crotchets (quarter 
notes) to fill the first bar, then continuing to insert into the 
second bar, and it worked.  I then started again with a three-bar 
segment, and it worked, and I started again but added the time 
signature from within the notation editor after creating the segment 
instead of the main window before, and it worked again.  I tried 
inserting quavers instead of crotchets, and I tried saying I didn't 
want to normalize the rests when adding the time signature, and 
neither of those made any difference.

I did find it was slightly tricky to hit the right place to insert the 
note at the start of the second bar -- quite often I got it too far 
to the right, resulting in a quaver rest before my note.  (In 0.9.7, 
if that happens and you then hit Undo, it truncates the segment 
incorrectly until you Undo again -- that bug is fixed in CVS.)  But 
it's far from impossible to get right, and no harder in bar 2 than 
any other.

So I'm at a loss.  Maybe if you provided a screenshot of 
just-before-the-failed-insert-attempt it might help me see what's 
different between your setup and mine?

btw, Steve, it looks like all your email is dated a month into the 
future -- unless my mail client is lying to me in a very odd way.  
Can you do something about that?
