Load Project presents with Asterisk

Post by todd_gochenour » Wed Feb 11, 2026 11:43 pm

I added Scene BPM values and saved the project. Now when it loads there is a Change BPM action in the Undo History and the asterisk is displayed denoting a change to the project. Remove the BPM values and save the project and it loads without the asterisk. The SAVE button on Push 3 is dark (as it should be). This indicator is a signal I rely on to know if the project is different from what is saved on disk. With scene BPM values set I have lost this signal.

Shouldn't actions taken during load be excluded from the Undo History?

Remove the BPM values
From where? From a Scene's BPM box?

Mmmh... that's really weird indeed.
Do you have any M4L device that somehow interacts with BPM changes in your Set?

Problem has disappeared. Project loads with no Change BPM event and with no asterisk. I have Scene tempo changes in the set.

I've made numerous changes since my first report. I've added new scenes to the top of the set and added/removed the Tempo change values and saved with set tempo matching/not matching the scene tempo and I now cannot reproduce.
