Specific help with Search, please!

Post by stringtheory »

ImageHi all,

I would like to select only the events that occur at a tick of 60 after the first beat of each bar in the list below. I'm a longtime DP user but the Search function is still a bit of a mystery to me...can someone help me, please? I can get settings that select everything, and settings that select only the very first event (which is not in the picture but occurs at beat 2 of the first bar), but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to select only those events at the 60th tick of the first beat, no matter what grid spacing settings I use, number of grid points, restart at every measure setting, or "pairs of checked points" settings I use.

Is it possible? How?

Thanks,

Tony

Many moons ago, Shooshie posted some detailed examples that probably cover this situation. I think they are in the Tips and Tricks thread, but this is very long and a lot of the images are no longer there. There is one of his posts near the end of the second page.

Maybe someone copied his examples into their own library of tips and could post it.

Thanks - I keep looking for the "like" button!

I've been looking through the various tips and tricks documents, haven't found the key to this yet.

Maybe I'll write to MOTU and ask!
