So I created a new project, added a synth, recorded some midi, went to PRV...
Nudge works fine.
Open my other project. Nudge left doesn't work. Nudge right is fine.
Apparently nudge preference settings are global to all projects, cuz the new project had all the latest settings from my problem child project.
I guess I can export/import all my tracks to a new project and see if the problem persists. Yuk...
Cheers
