Arrangement time signature markers are no longer editable

reproduce

1. in arrangement right click in the top bar and use the context menu to insert a time sig change
2. in any of the sig markers which have now appeared right click and choose "edit time signature" from teh context menu
3. doe the sig marker take a black 'edit' background and become editable?

Live 7.14 result = yes

Live 8 beta 12 result = No


it is not possible to edit time signatures in Arrangement in beta12

Yes, noticed the same thing... glad to read I'm not the only one..

ah sorry, I missed that report.

just a note - you can still edit the sig if you have your arrangement playhead at the correct marker you want to edit, then you alter the sig via the main sig type-in box, near the master tempo.


It's a bit fiddly, but it helps out as a workaround until this is fixed.

Still present in Beta 13

I right click to open the menu.
select Edit Time Signature.
I enter '5/6' and it shows up as 5/8 (multiple times)
I enter '4/4' and that's fine.
I more and delete it, everything's fine.

OT:
I gotta try properly abusing time signatures. bass is great fun in weird timings.

hmm,weird.
I'm not on an L8 machine at the mo' so I can't check but I'm pretty sure it was still broken in the most recent version for me because a song I have been working on has 3 bars of 7/8 and then one bar of 9/8, repeating. So that means I'm often reaching for this.

I'll try it again tomorrow, perhaps it is fixed in b14 and I missed it.

Hi,

I can't reproduce that on PC with beta 14: I can edit a time signature marker either via the context menu or using the CTRL R shortcut. Can you give it a try in b14?

Edit: I just saw that the corresponding bug is fixed. So, you should not be able to reproduce it in beta 14. Let me know if otherwise.

Hi,

5/6 is not a valid time signature. The second number can only be 1,2,4,8 or 16.

I confirm that this time-sig editing bug is fixed in B14
