You can create beat position markers in "Timestretch" mouse mode by clicking on
the desired playback position while holding down "Alt".
You can create bar position markers with "Alt" + mouse click, and you can move them
using "Alt" + horizontal mouse movement, e.g. to manipulate the bar grid and to adapt
it to available audio events.
Tips, examples of use
Beat markers can be set while composing in the MIDI editor. Subsequent MIDI objects and
tempo markers retain their musical position (advanced setting).
The grid can be adjusted to available audio events, e.g. assigning beat numbers to certain
time positions. You can either use the "Set new bar position marker" menu command to
create a marker at a position within the project and assign the corresponding bar position,
or use "Alt" + mouse click on the respective bar grid position and, while holding down the
mouse button, immediately move it to the required time position (e.g. to the beginning of an
object).
If the project includes MIDI data, then this will be automatically adjusted (preset). The newly
created tempo grid is used in the MIDI editor for subsequent editing.
When working with MIDI files and complex tempo changes, you can switch off the tempo
map before starting the recording of new MIDI data ("Ignore all tempo markers, use project
tempo"). After the recording has finished, you will be able to use the tempo map once
again; the newly recorded MIDI data will adapt itself automatically.
