Muso thanks. Let me expand a little on what I don't like.

If I want to move bar 17 through 50. If I zoom in in order to be accurate when I start the select process, the right side of the screen is not visible beyond bar 24-ish. So I have to drag off the right edge of the grid and let the software catch up.

I would like to be able to click a box that says "copy" and put in manually 17-1-0 and 50-4-119 and have the grid light up dark blue like when I do it with the cursor. (I'd also like them to call the ticks 1 thru 120 and not 0 thru 119).

Yes, I know I could use cut and paste rather than drag. But that is more rolling and clicking and I want to streamline, not complicate.

Is there NOW a way to do what I described? Click something to initiate a manual entry to/from and then give me a pulldown with options to copy, cut or move?

It all comes down to cursor control, really. I am very accurate with the mouse but unless I am zoomed way in it reverts to beat 4 of the previous measure.

What I would REALLY love is to set all the things this software can do that I use and make that "Eddie's way" and save that as the default when I launch the software. There are dozens of buttons on this GUI that I don't use and in fact don't even know what they do. That whole running debate about the ACW... I tried it once and it didn't even get close, so I never went back. I have near perfect pitch and I can hear what the chords are. (That's why I can chart fast.) I can feel what a move from 1 to 6 minor sounds like. (Most people here can. I'm not special.) I rarely use MIDI because after the program generates MIDI tracks I convert them to audio anyway, and it converts them at such low levels I end up having to gain change every one of them. Again... streamline. not create more clicks. I have asked at least times why those tracks are so quiet and nobody can tell me. Real Track generation in general is WAY too varied. You can generate 10 tracks and they will be at 10 different levels. Can they not be standardized to generate at -6db, or -3db? Any useable level. The drums, wow. After generating I immediately have to go select the drum track, go to gain change, and boost them at least 12db. I understand mixing, but I should not have to change the gain stage of tracks, just the mix level. Personally I HATE stereo tracks. If the drums have a left and right, generate 2 mono tracks and let ME pan them. Yes, I can go to tracks and split them into 2 mono tracks, but back to the same thing. Why should I have to? My default new track type is mono audio. Yet on random tracks, and with no notice, RB creates stereo tracks. (I actually wish the drums came out individually rather than compiled. We've discussed that. I want a kick track, a snare track, a hi hat track, etc...)

But that's a perfect world scenario that I'd have complete control of my software.
