Fastest way to check all clips' exact starting positions?
When I compose a track I record lots of short MIDI clips and move them around, by linking them if necessary, before finally merging them into a single clip. Before I do the merge, I want to make sure all the clips on the track are at the correct positions, normally at the exact start of the bar. This would be easy if there was a list of clips (just like Event List) or a shortcut key to move to the next clip. Is there a better way than just clicking the clips one by one and checking their positions in the Inspector? Thanks

Set your snap to grid to measure or what ever you want it set to and snap all clips to where you want. CJ

CJaysMusic Set your snap to grid to measure or what ever you want it set to and snap all clips to where you want. CJ Thanks, I always do that. What I want to do now is check whether I did it correctly (because I have many really short clips and I sometimes unconsciously drag the second half of a clip when moving it, which will snap the clip END to the grid).

If they all line up with measures you could turn on grid lines. That will provide a visual clue at a glance but of course if you are exactly a set number of measures out that won't work. TV Menu--->View---->Display---->Vertical Gridlines

I'm not sure if this will get you exactly what you want, but, you could lasso-select all of the clips and then look at the Select module in the Control Bar to see their combined From: To: values. If the clips start and end around the same time, any anomalies should display here.

Then just listen you your tracks/clips and if it sounds in time, your good. I don't know what your going for, but it it sounds good, then don't "F" with it. If one of the clips sound out of time, then move it. Cj
