Thanks msmcleod. I'll try that.

It just opens the project normally after I click. Again, it's a small problem. If I could get rid of it easily that would be nice but I can live with it.

what's "the other program"? None that I know of. Cakewalk is closed. I'm in Windows Explorer and double-click on a project to open it as usual and often get this message. Not sure what's going on.

(Please move this post to the Cakewalk forum, thanks!)

I started getting getting this message a few months ago when loading a project from Windows Explorer. I don't get the error every time but it's a slight pain because I have to click on "Switch To" to finish getting the project loaded. This didn't used to happen with the same machine setup. Anyone know how to get rid of this problem? Thanks.

Hi msmcleod, Your first suggestion seems to do the trick and seems simplest. The 2nd method which was also mentioned by SteveC above gives me these messages: Could be user error. Thanks!

Hi Glenn, For whatever reason Insert Meter in the lower have of the dialog box appears to be grayed out at the location I want to place it. It seems to be available only on the current measure downbeats (18:, 19:, 20:) but not in between those times.

Thanks Glenn, I'll try that.

Hi. I might have posted too soon. I tried to do what msmcleod suggested and I either misunderstood and did it incorrectly or it's not behaving how I would like. I'm attaching screen shots : The SLOW section starts at 19:02:00. I tried to do what you suggested but I still see the Ctrl-PgDn and Ctrl-PgUp behavior going from 19:01 to 20:01 etc... as usual instead of to 20:02:00 which is what I want to now consider one new (slow 80 bpm) measure. My new SLOW section could have been an even more random time like 19:14:45. The point is I'm trying to create a magic new rule for Cakewalk saying this is where your new measure starts and I haven't quite succeeded. Please let me know if this works for you or if I'm doing anything incorrectly. Thanks.

Thanks for your help yet again msmcleod. I think this is the key part of what you wrote: "Set Measure Beat at Now" I'm going to try using that and see if I can pull off what I'm trying to do. Looks good so far. It's kind of like I just want a measure 'reset' in the middle of the song at any point I chose. At that 'reset' point the new measure count begins. The actual tempo should be irrelevant (I believe). It's to make sure the Ctrl-PgDn strokes work correctly. Thanks again.

I navigate quickly through my songs with Ctrl-PgDn and Ctrl-PgUp as well as moving from marker to marker. The problem arises when there's a tempo change or something odd that moves from the original downbeat later on in the song. I had this problem before and now I've got it again on a new song so I thought I'd see if there's a way to do what I want. The song switches from 85 bpm to 80 bpm about a minute into the tune. There's a downbeat and silence and a dramatic brass sting to signal the new tempo change to come. Then when we hit the downbeat at the new tempo I've inserted I'd love to have my Ctrl-PgDn navigation work again. The problem is it's in a random spot time wise and no longer relates to the original starting point of the song and the 85 bpm tempo there. I can put a marker on the downbeat to the new tempo section but I can't do my Ctrl-PgDn magic to quickly navigate that section of the song accurately. I use that method to quickly find downbeats for the correct locations for cut/copy/paste operations. And finally, when I go back to the original tempo I need everything to work again there. But it may not line up exactly with the original song's measures. If if this seems confusing or anyone needs more clarification on what I'm trying to do please let me know. I know I could record the song in two workplaces and assemble it later but that's a drag. Thanks.

These may be a bit expensive for what I'm looking for: Neumann NDH 20 Thanks for all the suggestions. I read some reviews and looked carefully at the weight of each set. Also, some of the headphones aren't available currently where I live in Thailand. I took my Sony headphone on a recent road trip and enjoyed using them so I may just keep it simple and just try the MDR-7506 headphones. I've always enjoyed the sound of Sony headphones for some reason. I like the way the bass sounds. I actually brought my MDR-V600 headphones here when I moved from the States 24 years ago. They're now worn out and don't sound as good as before. I may also consider trying some of those suggested above probably starting with the HD 200 Pro phones. Thanks.

Thanks for all your helpful suggestions. I think I should give these a try: Sennheiser HD 200 Nothing wrong with the MDR-7510 headphones and they're already packed for my 3 day trip to Chiang Rai tomorrow. I'm just always looking for suggestions. I've lived in Thailand for 24 years and it's another world far, far away from the recording studios I used to frequent in the States in NYC and Boston. And there's a high import tax rates on anything you have shipped here. Any price tag you see in Bangkok or Chiang Mai where I live is much higher than the bargain prices you see in the States or other countries. Lovely food here beaches, culture....................high headphone prices! Or anything involving computers or electronics. But the food is great... Thanks again.

I've got some ATH-M50 headphones that I use in my studio that sound decent but squeeze my ears a bit hard and aren't fun for long sessions. I love my Koss Porta Pro headphones for when I do exercise. They hold the bass nicely and are incredibly light. I'm looking for recommendations for headphones that sound decent that I can take on road trips to use with my laptop but shut off some of the room noise (my kids!) better than the Koss headphones. Anything $50-$100 would be fine. My Sony MDR-7510 headphones aren't too heavy and don't squeeze the ears too hard so I can use them for the time being. I don't buy headphones very often so I'm interested in any suggestions from people who know the latest choices. Thanks.

I have the answer to my own question. It's in Piano Roll view, not Track view shortcuts:
