Hi, I was trying to cut and paste selected notes from one segment into a different track and I couldn't find a way for setting the insertion point with precision. How can I move the transport cursor to a position that I can write manually? Other than clicking on the top ruler (which is not precise, and I couldn't find a way for making it snap to a grid of 16ths for example) there seems to be no way for doing this... unless I'm completely missing it. Some help would be highly appreciated since I'm in the middle of a project that has to be finished soon. Thanks! Hector |

Create a new note just before the start of the group of notes you want. This will snap to the current grid. Select this as well as all the notes you want. Cut and paste to the new track/segment. With this entire group selected drag backwards and forwards one grid line so that the group snaps to the grid. Delete the extra note. This works for me, although I seldom want that kind of precision. -- W J G |

How can I move the transport cursor to a > position that I can write manually? I think the only way to do it in any release so far is to set a marker and jump the pointer to that. (In 1.4.0, clicking on a marker will move the pointer to it.) But that's a bit of a pain. I've just committed a change to the current SVN trunk that makes it possible to double-click on the time indication in the transport window and enter a new time to jump the pointer to. > Other than clicking on the top ruler (which is not precise, and I > couldn't find a way for making it snap to a grid of 16ths for example) Hey, maybe that could be a use for the "/16" indicator in the transport window that's been there for years but never actually been wired up to anything...
