If I set the time signature as 9/8, the program doesn’t treat the project as 3 beats per bar with 3 eighth notes each beat (compound time), but counts each eighth note as a part of a simple time instead (2 eighth notes each beat). So, the created bars are wrong in the grid, and the only way I could manage to fix it was setting the time signature as its simple equivalent (3/4) and set the grid to triplets. I’ve seen this happens as well on Cubase, Bitwig and Audacity. So perhaps all DAW’s and audio editors do this. I would like to know: could anyone explain why they decided to ignore compound times when setting the time signature? I've posted this in the Q&A section because I guess there is an answer kind of "because of a technical problem" or something like that.

So I've recorded a short MIDI melody where the beat and bar counting should start on the second note instead of the first one. I could easily pull that off in FL Studio by placing a time signature marker for 4/4 to where the second note starts to reset the beat counter. But how do I insert an upbeat in Cakewalk? Using the "Set Measure/Beat At Now" dialogue accessed by the drop-down menu from right-clicking the timeline gives me nothing but "Invalid measure and/or beat error messages stating that "The tempo required for that location is out of range" and that I should "Please remove some tempo entries in the tempo view around the desired time or enter a correct measure or beat", or saying that Cakewalk is "Unable to specify different measure or beat for the start of project". But, unfortunately, I have no idea what that actually means. The project I originally wanted to work on should be attached to this post in case one of you might look further into my issue. Simple suggestions are preferred though, especially if I have just overlooked a specific feature in Cakewalk. Thanks in advance, Thomas Fritz a.k.a. Xrenyn the Musicmage Auhert's Beacon.cwp
