Anyone else getting odd alignment problems with notes?

Post by moreofmorris » Sat Jan 02, 2010 5:58 pm

Upgraded to 8.1.1 the other day, and now I seem to be getting strange alignment problems between the arrangement view and the clip view of my notes... I've got a link to a picture, look at the notes in the arrangement and then in the clip view --- am I going nuts or is there a problem there? It's well off putting as I keep thinking my notes are off!

Anyone else having this? I'm on Mac 10.5.8 and Live 8.1.1.

do you have the same grid resolution in arrange and in the editing window? 8)

Well, that's what I thought... But after checking that a few times it's still not quite lined up right. I can't quite explain it, and I can't be arsed to do a video of it. It's like they're just 'off'. It's a bit hard to explain, maybe the screen shot doesn't do it justice.

Your arrangement grid is set to 1/8T which is triplet notes and the clip is set to 1/8th (straight notes). Press CTRL (CMD) + 3 in the arrange view and you should be all set.

No problem at all. Sometimes it just takes a second pair of eyes! :)
