Hi Gang. I am having so much trouble with the stem splitter around one issue. I cannot get the darned first measure bar to be right and also line up with the count in clicks. I have a song imported into the stem splitter via the open special command successfully and split successfully. The music starts on beat 4 as a pickup note and then proceeds from there in the next measure with the 1. I can easily hear where each down beat is. When I click on the first down beat (just past the proceeding 4) and press L to make a measure line all is well. Then I tap out the rest of the song using L on each new down beat. The I adjust any slight errors in the down beat L taps. Then I use the equalize tempo feature and pick my tempo and all is well.

Then when I go to play the results, the count-in click is all over the place and usually the first measure marker is gone.

Questions are whether this device can handle pickup notes and keep the measure lines straight? Can the count in be synced with the file in this situation? There is now way that I know of to indicate where the real first measure line might be since there are three quarter notes of rest before the 4 plays leading into the next measure.

I am so frustrated and have spent hours trying to figure this out. I remember from a post deep in the past that there is some way to indicate where the "first" bar line is by right clicking on the play head line and getting a contextual menu where I can indicate first measure, but I cannot seem to find this functionality anywhere.

Can you help me. I don't understand why this is so hard to do. Thanks so much.
