I can't even find that pixel that bothers you so much. Maybe my screen res is too low? I tried it on the tube screen, instead of the LCD, and it didn't look or sound any warmer at all.
Sorry, Doug;
There is no pixel. That was a joke. I wouldn't say it was sarcastic; just tinged with irony and more than a little frustration. I felt as though there was nothing left to do but try to be amusing. I thought you'd be amused, too, but I was wrong.
[edit] Wait a minute... you laughed earlier! DOH! You got me there! [/edit] I read your post; in fact i read all of your posts. I totally agree with you that the Markers should be draggable from the Sequence Editor, as they are in the Tracks Overview Window. Dragging markers is easy in the
Tracks Overview Window: just click it and drag. OPTION-CLICK a marker to lock/unlock it. To toggle the grid on/off, hold down the COMMAND key, click on the marker, and drag. (The COMMAND KEY always does the opposite of how your snap-to-grid option is selected.)
On the other hand, I don't find it difficult to use the Conductor Track in the Sequence Editor. You can minimize the conductor track so that it takes up only a little more than a quarter inch of vertical space in the window at normal resolution. Of course, if you just don't like the Conductor Track, and you refuse to use any other window but the Sequence Editor Window, then I guess you're in a bad place. I really think you'd begin to see the Tracks Overview Window as a powerful ally if you read about it and used it some. And... if your cursor is in the timeline of your Sequence Editor, it's a tiny hop to click on the Tracks Overview tab, drag your marker, and click back to the Sequence Editor.
I wonder if you've read the tips sheet, in which quite a number of lesser-known facts are posted. I just made sure that dragging markers is mentioned in the Tracks Overview Window section. It helps to read up on things that you may not use a lot, for you're always going to learn something you didn't know about DP. Like dragging markers, for instance. So, I guess we've established that the markers can be dragged in the Tracks Overview Window or from any editor that accesses the Conductor Track (including the MIDI Edit Window). But how can I help if you
don't LIKE Conductor Tracks or the Tracks Overview Window?
