Display more vertical grid lines in MIDI window...

Post by jrhans »

Seems like this should be available, but I find nothing… When you choose a particular "snap-to" level for the MIDI note editor window, you see vertical grid lines corresponding to that division (i.e. quater-note, eighth-note, etc) If you uncheck snap-to for the window, these lines disappear, leaving you with only the measure lines. Is there any way to get those vertical beat lines to appear when not using snap-to? They would be so handy when scooting notes around!! I realize you can watch your horizontal note placement as shadowed on the timeline at the top of the window, but boy those grid lines would be spiffy. (One would say even a pretty basic feature.) Am I missing something? Thanks for any help.

Leave the grid on and hold the Command key down when scooting notes.
