pointer (arrow cursor) not appearing in Sequences track RESOLVED

Post by darrell »

Hi all. All of a sudden I cannot get the arrow (select) cursor in my sequences window, and cannot select notes (MIDI only in this project). All that happens is the insert 'line' appears in the places I click. I've looked in manual and all submenus but can find nothing....help?

I think I had this happen to me. Are the MIDI notes inside a MIDI clip? I think you have to unpack a clip to select the notes. You might have MIDI set to record to clips by default?

That seems to be what happened.....I've never used clips before, and must have somehow changed sequence view from 'note' to clip.' ...or, it's a bug...

Thanks!

No problem! Glad it helped. I had that happen to me and it was driving me crazy until I learned I have to unpack a clip to edit the MIDI notes inside it. :D
