Strange vertical line in an audio clip (SONAR 8.5.3 ... and Platinum, too) [SOLVED]

 
 
In SONAR 8.5.3, I have an audio clip that somehow got a vertical line with a little triangle at its bottom.  I don't believe it's AudioSnap or a fadein/fadeout, but I don't know what it is nor how to get rid of it.

    I still have 8.5 on my old laptop so I fired it up and I tried everything, audio snap, envelopes, groove clips, markers, looping and could not duplicate the marker. I thought it might be a split point. As long as the song plays, I say ignore it. It might be a graphic glitch.

    I appreciate your extensive testing!
     
    The song does play just fine, so I will ignore it, as you say.  Actually, I did a "bounce to clip" and that got rid of whatever that strange graphic thing was.

    Does this occur in a track where you have multiple take lanes? I use Sonar X3, so it doesn't look exactly the same, but I get a similar line when two clips in different take lanes overlap and you see the vertical line where the later clip starts.

    Well, this is in SONAR 8.5.3, which doesn't have track lanes ...  it has "layers".  But even then, my track is just a single layer.

    Out of curiosity, I opened the the project in the latest Platinum, and the vertical line and triangle are still there in the clip!

    I figured it out!  The vertical line (and triangle) indicate the location of what's called a snap offset.
     
    I could see the snap offset value in Clip Properties.
     
    I must have somehow set that unintentionally, by mistake.
     
    FYI:
     
    Snap Offset (for audio clips only)
     
    The value of this field is the snap offset of the selected clip, in samples. When you set a snap offset value for a clip, and then drag the clip, the left edge of the clip does not snap to the current snap resolution—the clip snaps to a point on the clip that is the distance from the left edge of the clip to the snap offset value. For example, if you set the snap resolution to move to a measure, and the snap offset of a clip to 1500 samples, when you drag the clip, instead of the left edge of the clip moving to a measure line, the spot on the clip that’s 1500 samples right of the beginning of the clip moves to the measure line.

    I'm always sizing clips to the nearest snap point for moving or copying to make sure it lines up right, then adjusting the start points to what they were before the drag. Sounds like snap offsets  could be for that scenario?
