I 'bumped' this topic because no one commented and I really do want to know the answer to some questions, even if you do not agree with my idea of how push affects swing.

Q1. Using the 'Notation Windows Options', notation setting 'Tick Offset', is it possible to have only one or some instrument pushing or delaying? For instance I would like to set the Bass to play say '5' in front (anticipate) of the beat. But no other instruments.

I thought at one time I was able to do that but, if you apply that setting in the Bass notation setting, it now carries through into all the other instruments. Maybe I am wrong but I was sure somebody once gave me that advice. Certainly there are other settings which can be different in the Notation Windows Options, but not the Tick Offset.

Q2. Regarding the “Auto Set Tick Offset” (Under the Tick Offset), which says, “If enabled, Band-in-a-Box will automatically determine the tick offset by analysing the notes on the track.” The use of singular 'track' seems to confirm my original thoughts in Q1 about the function but I think we are really talking tracks? So importantly, what criteria does it use to make these decisions?

Q3. Do these offset settings apply to RealTracks as well as midi?


Or perhaps you could refer me to a section in the user manual or frequently asked question, because I have been unable to find out anything about these functions. I am probably looking in the wrong place or using an incorrect search term.

Thanks.
