Hello all,
I'm having trouble getting 5/4 MIDI material laid out in RB in a way that's straightforward to edit.
If I drag n' drop from Biab it arrives in RB sounding just like it should, but against the timeline in RB a bar of 5/4 takes up only 4 beats: if I have the timesignature set to 5/4 that means that the barlengths on the timeline are longer than a bar of the music, and if I set it to 4/4 the barlengths coincide, but in both cases there's 5 beats against 4 on the timeline, which makes the grid useless as a guide for editing work (for generated material and for stuff that I play into RB).
Possibly related to this (I really can't tell) is the fact that when I generate from within RB in a 5/4 style,it doesn't work at all if the timesignature is set to 5/4: the result is absolute rhythmic gobbledegook. Setting the timesignature back to 4/4 results in coherent music being generated, which is somewhat counter-intuitive but there it is.
Maybe there's something I should be doing that I'm not, or maybe there's a workaround, or maybe it happens to you too - I'd like to hear about it.
Clinton.
