I have a couple of buttons on my iPad Lemur template for DP that are programmed to take care of this. One moves releases to nearest attack, and the other changes the keyswitch notes to playback only in Quickscribe. I just select the keyswitch notes, hit the two buttons and I can chase articulations and keep the notation clean.

I agree. I've always used extra tracks when there is anything organizationally to be gained by it. Keyswitches are prime candidates for extra tracks. Editing them in the MIDI Editor (rather than the Sequence Editor) makes it like one track. There is no technical loss in splitting tracks, and everything to gain.

Takes the angst out of the process. It's not on the market yet, but is scheduled for announcement in the MLI Product Update Q3 2015.
You could ship me a beta unit. If there's a bug in it, even a "kind of" bug, I'd find it and elaborate unnecessarily about it.
Ha ha ha! Too funny, Stubbsy. You're referring, of course, to a BetaBug.

He's not just one big cheeky gorilla, but IIRC when he picked me up to use my fur as dunny paper, my view changed from the serenity of my river-side perch to one of, well, I won't go there. Hang on... I already did, hence my privileged capacity to inform you that he indeed has two cheeks.

So, next time you think, "What a cheek", remember that there's yet another in reserve. Such talent.

Magilla, you know I luv ya bro', so don't take it poosonally; folks talk about my butt all the time. Monkey's an asshole this and an asshole that... it never seems to end down here in Jungleville. :lol:
