Add info text at clip level?

Post by fabiospark » Sun Apr 18, 2021 7:04 pm

If I select a midi clip in session view and right click, I can see the command "Edit info text" is available.
But If a left click on it, the cursor doesn't appear in the text box:
is it possible to add info text to a clip? I couldn't find an answer.
Thanks.

you shouldn't need to manually put your cursor in there. once you right-click, and choose 'Edit info text', you can start typing. clicking the mouse anywhere outside of the edit window closes the edit.

Thank you.
I don't know why but it didn't work with a clip but it worked with a track.
After your reply I tried again and I can see it works.
Maybe there was some command processing running (I'm trying ClyphX scripting...).
