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...
