  1. Hi Got some questions, first the one that's driving me crazy right now. I'm trying to move over part of a MIDI track so i can insert a note of two, so I highlight thru end, what i want is now selected but when I try to grab the track to move it over it automatically highlights the entire track so i can't move anything. Tried it a dozen times and it still won't work, done this before so i know it should work. Next question, to delete some time at the start of a song I highlight what i want deleted go to edit delete special put a check in all the options and nothing happens except the highlight is gone what i selected is still there, not deleted, so we try again, same thing, but on the third try it makes the edit and deletes the space. WHY do I have to do this every time, it is the ONLY way I've found that works to delete space at the start of a track. Next question, at home my install of cakewalk is different from this laptop, when i look at the staff view I have square note heads, my icons for pedal sustain are an envelope and something else slightly weird that i can't remember now. I've tried to figure out how to change it looked through all the menus but I can't make a change that um,, will change it ? I can also never delete any spaces in tracks on my home computer, the only way i can delete anything on it is to have a note there to delete too. Tried to re-install to see if that would fix it but no that would be too simple for simple me. I also seem to be good and somehow highlighting everything so that on a very regular basis i have to go edit unselect every few minutes to prevent accidentally deleting everything. Don't get me wrong i like Cakewalk it's what I've been using for a long time but not often enough to learn it, apparently...
  2. All I'm trying to do is delete some time, I highlight the area on the track, go to edit sometimes it shows delete sometimes it's greyed out (something else I need to know how to stop that from being greyed out) I select delete special make sure it's set to delete hole and nothing happens except it's not highlighted anymore, I try it again with whole measures check box and nothing happens. Sometimes I can get it to work if I only highlight small sections and delete it in 3 or 4 parts (unnecessary pain in the *****) How do I do this so it works every time and I actually know what's wrong and might have a chance of fixing it before i destroy my laptop from bashing my head into it...
  3. Somehow it's like all the notes were deleted off Piano Roll, yet if I play the project they are still there. What Happened ? how do I stop it happening again ? AND how do I fix it.? Driving me nuts cause I have no clue why it disappears and all i can do is start from an earlier version and redo nearly everything. Searched online and couldn't find it, searched here and couldn't get anything up that would help. I hate having to ask I normally like to find things for myself but that ain't working this time.
  4. Super simple question I can't find the answer to, how do I setup PRV so I can place the curser anywhere NOT just at the start of a measure ? Gone through preferences it's not there searched the forum and got 27,000 answers so that worked real good even looked at a few nothing there even close to what I was searching for. I think there used to be a check box for that in preferences in the old old home studio version I had somehow I think it can still do it so how ?
