Just thought of somthing to try ..

When you first open the song in the ACW, go to upper left and change the tempo to something very slow, so it spreads the bars out more.

May be worth trying. I like starting with a tempo that is too slow, rather than too fast.
Then when I tap F8 it moves the bars ahead in time (closer to beginning) rather than back in time toward the end, where you may end up having a couple bars clash ..


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
