Hi Graham,

Here's my take on some of your questions. I'm not absolutely certain of all my answers and am more than happy to be corrected.

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.

If you right-click on a track, there is an option that will allow you to set an off-set for that individual track. Whether this is for midi or midi and Realtracks, I do not know. I'm sure that if you experiment a little, it will be easy to find out.

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?

As far as I'm aware, because "Auto-set tick off-set" is located under the notation options, I have always assumed (rightly or wrong) that it only applies to what is notated. To me, this suggests that it's for midi only. I know it occurs on the Melody track because I have often had to adjust notes that were entered when tick off-set was active. Whether or not it happens to the other tracks, I haven't investigated.

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

See Q1 answer above.

Hope these thoughts help,
Noel
