Let me clarify. In MTV, the snap is indeed snapping, you are right about that. But the resolution is too high, I believe it's 1/64th note (1/16th of a beat), in other words, if you zoom out a little more on the track, you will start to make mistakes by not snapping perfectly on the bar line, and therefore getting a faulty regen.

On the other side, if you try to snap in ACW or AEW, it is a much lower resolution, which is 16th note. You are less likely to make selection mistakes.

BiaB's piano roll gives you the option to choose snapping resolutions. It will probably take years for PG to implement this function to AEW and MTV.

Also, from your video, it was quite painful to make an accurate selection directly on the tracks in the lower part of the screen. Don't you agree? You either have to scroll the lower tracks up closer to the top snapping ruler, or you have to first make a selection on the top track then click to switch that selection to a lower track.

Either way, the selection is counter-productive in MTV. You see what I'm saying here?

Unless you have a better way, MTV's bar selection is a pain in the anal compare to ACW and AEW.
