Thanks Noel,
Yes, I used the piano roll snap mode. So in total what I did was this.
The song style is Latin giving 1/16ths in the editable notation mode.
I entered the straight 1/8ths only for the first chorus using editable notation mode.
I then quantized the melody in 1/16th at 100% to get those to perfectly line up.
I tested this by listening and it worked.
I then went back to editable notation mode and used
this jump to video method to enter the first set of triplets.
I then went to piano roll mode using the triplet snap to fix the triplets.
I then copied the triplets out to other parts of the 1st chorus to complete the chorus.
----Again the editable notation mode needs a snap to fix to avoid the extra piano roll steps.
----It may have been too tricky for them to program the reading of the screen to do the snap to.
----At least the visual notation snaps to the vertical lines in editable notation mode.
I then used the copy special process to copy the 1st chorus to the 2nd chorus then again to the 3rd chorus.
(see the attached copy special dialog box settings I used).
In the copy special dialog box it shows something I can not figure out.
The only other way I have figured out to copy to the other choruses is to
set the choruses to one then set the choruses to a higher value and enter yes to copy the melody.
