  • PRV multiple note drag always "moves by"

Am I the only one noticing this? When you have Snap enabled in the "move to" setting, and you select and drag multiple notes, they always seem to move by rather than have the note being dragged snap to gridlines, as was the case with all pre-Platinum sonars.

Are you sure "Snap To" is checked when you right-click on the snap resolution drop-down in the right corner of PRV?

Yep. Tripple-checked.

Confirm that multiple note selection does NOT snap to your desired setting.   I set snap to whole, and the snap intensity highest, selected a group of notes and found no snap.   As far as I could tell, it doesn't snap "BY" either.    I always use a numeric slide, by bars/beats, not a drag, so never noticed it before
 
And related: in Preferences, under "magnetic test", it appears that the slider does nothing ... it reverts to the same value.     I have all "Landmarks" in that preferences screen unchecked.

I cannot reproduce a problem in Everett. Both Snap To and By with groups of notes selected are working as expected in the PRV. Yev, are you also sure you don't have MIDI landmarks enabled?
 
Snap Intensity and Magnetic Test are also working as expected.

Edit your posts to confirm you are all on Everett I suggest.

When I move notes in the PRV I hold shift to keep the notes at there proper place relative to time.

NO problem here with "Everett".
 
Since no steps were provided to try to reproduce, the following test procedure was created:
 
 
1. Turned off Snap to Grid.
2. Used Smart Tool to draw 6 quarter notes in the PRV at various distances from the grid.
3. Enabled Snap to Grid, "Snap To", and Whole note resolution in the PRV after verifying Global Snap was enabled.
4. Selected all 6 notes.
5. Used Smart Tool to grab the 3rd quarter note and dragged to the right.  All notes moved as a group until the 3rd note approached a measure grid and it snapped to the grid with no problem.  The remaining 5 notes moved the same distance as the 3rd note, but did not "snap".
6. Repeated Step 5 for each of the remaining 5 notes with the same results.
 
This is the expected behavior, since only the note that is grabbed by the mouse in the multiple selection will "snap".
 
Also tried the above steps in Sonar X3 with same results.
 
Were your steps any different than mine?

Two possibilities for inconsistent reports: I'm on Dorchester, and see the problem.
And I use floated PRV windows.    Some differences have appeared before between floated and docked windows.

Rolled back to "Dorchester" and floated the PRV to try and reproduce with the steps used in #8 above and Sonar still produces the same expected results.  Also tried disabling PRV snap and leaving Global Snap enabled and still get the expected results.  Don't have any suggestions at this time.
