The track to track drag is the only one I see and only in the SE. Everything else is fine.

Um, you acknowledged the Split Notes crash and Drag-copy-only earlier in this thread, bays. Have you revolved these?bayswater wrote:The track to track drag is the only one I see and only in the SE. Everything else is fine.

I can. FWIW, I'm NOT using a mouse but a Magic Trackpad 2, if that makes a difference.dix wrote:You would indeed be the unicorn if that's the case.

Re: DP 10 : can't copy MIDI data in Tracks?
I thought we were just talking about shift or alt drag copying MIDI notes. Other stuff, yes, it’s broken.dix wrote:Um, you acknowledged the Split Notes crash and Drag-copy-only earlier in this thread, bays.

Re: DP 10 : can't copy MIDI data in Tracks?
One more thought... is the GRID checked? Have you tried holding the CMD key to defeat what migth be grid snapping?williemyers wrote:hi all,
this one could be a deal-breaker for me...
I've recorded a few bars of MIDI data in a single track of an Instrument track in the Tracks (Overview) window.
records fine, plays back fine.

Re: DP 10 : can't copy MIDI data in Tracks?
Though the CMD key has no effect on track-to-track Shift-constraining in DP9, yes. I've tried all variations of grid/modifiers in DP10. Within the track the MIDI can't be moved left or right when the Shift key is pressed (and the first drag is up or down), but once the MIDI is dragged up or down to the target track DP behaves as if it doesn't know the Shift key is pressed.MIDI Life Crisis wrote:One more thought... is the GRID checked?

Are you running some sort of computer keyboard extension software...m'be?

Re: DP 10 : can't copy MIDI data in Tracks?
Ah! One of those guys must be giving DP10 something it needs. ...or possibly superseding it. Do things constrain when shift-dragging outside of DP by chance?

I just checked in Photoshop (CS5) and shift dragging does constrain data movement.dix wrote:Ah! One of those guys must be giving DP10 something it needs. ...or possibly superseding it. Do things constrain when shift-dragging outside of DP by chance?

Nope. I have things listed by "name" but I don't recall the desktop ever constraining with the shift key.dix wrote:What about on the desktop?

Re: DP 10 : can't copy MIDI data in Tracks?
Shift-Constrain is part of Photoshop too. I was thinking one of those apps might be providing you this globally.
Okay, I think I've
enough. Thanks for playing along MLC. I'm really ready for the DP10 update.
