MIDI clips seem to be moving with audio clips

[harleygnuya]

Cakewalk SONAR Platinum v23.10.0, Windows 10 Pro 64

Project is attempting to align an already-existing MIDI file with an mp3 file containing an audio recording of the original song.   I opened the MIDI file in Cakewalk, then added an audio track and dropped the mp3 file into it.  I then manually adjusted the whole clip in Track 1 so that it aligned with a pickup drum beat in Track 12 at MBT 3:04:000, so that I have a single point where all tracks align perfectly.

The problem I'm having is that it appears as if the MIDI tracks are staying in the same relationship to the audio track when I set the project tempo to match Track 1's audio tempo.  I've tried the following techniques:

1) Set measure/beat to now - Result: Project grid adjusts to audio clip tempo map, but MIDI tracks stay in their same relationship to the audio track, rather than moving with the grid.

2) AutoSnap Set Project from Clip - Same result as 1, above.

3) Melodyne - Application analyzed the audio, but got hung up when actually adjusting the audio.  I let it run for as long as 10 minutes and it stayed locked up the whole time.  I finally exited Cakewalk by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

Here's what the screen looks like before I try 1 or 2:

 

Notice the position of events at Project MBT 8:1:000 in Tracks 6 & 7 relative to the wave forms in Track one at Beat Marker 8:1.

Now, here's how it looks after:

What I was expecting was that Project MBT 8:1:000 would align with Beat Marker 8:1, which it did, and that the events in Tracks 6 & 7 would line up with Project MBT 8:1:000; but, it appears that Tracks 6 & 7 have maintained their relationship with Track 1, rather than moving with the grid.  All the MIDI tracks are acting this way.

My first thought was that, perhaps, the MIDI clips' time bases were set to Absolute, but I checked them and they're all set to Musical.  A check of the audio clip in Track 1 shows it to be set to Musical also.

I've spent the entire afternoon and into the evening trying to get this to work.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
