I have snap to grid on. I have ti set to 1/4, then 1hole, 1./2, 1/8 cant get midi notes to snap to grid. Audio works. 

I should mention Im int he piano roll view. I went into customization settings and I have snap settings on snap to and the high level magnetic setting like I always use.

Also, in piano roll view, I tried to tried to set the snap settings there and it doesnt help. 

Also, the "follow snap settings" option is grayed out.

This sux! lol

Any hints? Ive RTFM and tweaked enough lol. Im supposed to be a sonar expert! 

Check with magnetism "off" ;)

I couldn't get me snap to in PRV working right today until I had the main tool bar snap to on and set to what I wanted...i.e. sixteenth notes.  This new "universal" snap to is going to take some learning.

Apparently "off' acts like what you would expect "on" to act like. Go figure.

Well a couple of days I explained it before but anyways here goes:

Snap feature -> notes snap to snap settings

Magnetism feature -> notes are allowed to be drawn ANYWHERE but they are "magnetised" to snap settings

so in essense:

magnetic strength in any setting (high, low etc) - ALLOWS notes to be drawn anywhere with a magnetism to snap settings relevant to magnetic strength

magnetism off: NO other option for notes, they just snap to snap settings

Nothing broken there, just a wee bit confusing between "snap" and "magnetism"

;)

Oh and about the "follow snap settings"

This bug has been inherited from earlier versions and I discovered its solution a bout 6 months ago

To enable it:
make sure PRV view is not maximised (and undock it for X1)
click on upper-left icon of PRV window and select "disable floating"
now the option is not greyed out - check it
feel free to re-arrange now your windows as you see fit

;)

Wow! Thats a big flip from previous sonar!

Ok, yeah I tried to search the forum for an answer and couldnt find one.

Thanx for explaining again!

All is well now!

What does that have to do with snap to grid or magnetic strength settings? When you are free associating an improvisional peice into a project, how can you calculate what the accurate magnetic strength should be, or if you should snap it to grid before listening to the variations present?

Well actually the magnetism works here as I described and Im still on Sonar 8.5!

Im pretty sure most of you fellas had the magnetism "off" and had never checked, and X1 came with default "on" doing your head in! ;)

Sorry Crg - didnt quite get you

"grid follows snap settings" is the feature that allows the GRID in piano roll view to show rulers according to your snap settings

It doesnt change any snap settings - only the visual rulers

Magnetic strength feature in snap settings is another thing. Sorry for the confusion but the OP had two unrelated questions and I answered both!

Hope I made sense this time! ;)
