aligning the timeline with the piano/step line

Post by rev.f »

So on the timeline the part looks like this, starting on the first measure: (second image)

But on the piano line it looks like this, not starting at the beginning of any measure: (first image)

How can I fix this?

I totally agree. Im would love to see a solution as this makes it really hard to fix or change things that are all in the same place.

Example I wanted to change the end of a song and there was 6 instruments. I fix the first track in the Editor but when I go to the next one it is showing at the beginning of the song? And they always re open zoomed way out??

Expected behaviour is the editor should open where the timeline play head is. And it should follow the zoom level.

I often need to edit multiple tracks and at least I found that I could retain a ghost of the First track but then the zoom level is different so you get confused about where you are.

Yup, this is one of the features we added to Mixcraft 10 due to user requests.
