Hi guys,

You don't even have to load a song to see what I'm about to describe. Just load any 4/4 style and create a new/blank file,... or you can use any 4/4 song if you'd like.

In working with MicroChords my natural expectation was that if I wanted to use this feature on the second half of any given measure, (beats 3 and 4), I should place the cursor in the second half of that measure and type M to activate the MicroChords action window.

I did exactly that in measure 4 and the MicoChords action window did come up indeed! I placed my desired info into the appropriate Chords boxes under beats 3 and 4, then I pressed "OK" only to find nothing changed in measure 4 of the song.

So. thinking that I may have hit "Cancel" instead of "OK", I did it again making sure that I hit "OK" this time. Well, I got the same result--nothing changed in measure 4.

So, on my 3rd time of setting things up in the second half of measure 4, I looked at every element in the action window and I saw that, in the "Current Bar" area, located in the MC action window's top left corner, a numeral 5 was displayed!

So, I went back and placed the cursor in the front part of measure 4 (over beats 1 and 2) after which I, again, placed my desired info into the appropriate Chords boxes, under beats 3 and 4. Then I pressed "OK" again and this time there was a numeral 4 displayed in the Current Bar area and the results for which I was looking was represented on beats 3 and 4 of measure 4. YAY!

So after graduating from that 3-point school-of-hard-knocks, I've been simply reminding myself to get in the habit of placing the cursor in the front end of the measure-- no matter which beat(s) I'd like to MicoChord.

In all seriousness though, If you place the cursor anywhere in any given measure, isn't it reasonable to expect that the action you're requesting would take place in that same measure?

I'd like to know what you guys think... Does this same behavior happen on your rigs? If so, do you think it's a reportable item that the PG Music Tech Team should address? Or do you think it's a proverbial "Nothing Burger".

Personally, I'm OK either way!

I've got one more item of concern regarding Preferences/Channels but I'll start another thread on that topic within the next couple of days. Thanks!
