Sorry there rbowser but actually it was never reveresed....

It's just people that get it wrong, think about it:

low magnetism : notes tend to be snapped to snap settings loosely

high magnetism : notes tend to snap  to snap settings more

off magnetism: the feature is off and notes have no other option than to snap to snap settings

Hi, thanks for that.  After reading this, I experimented more with the settings - I've never had any level of magnetism on before.  OK, I see, except that in the few minutes of playing with low, medium and high levels, I couldn't tell very much difference.

I guess the logic is right - but when magnetism is "off," snap to is at its strongest, the snap is totally literal.  That makes the "magnetism" even higher than the high setting---That's why it can seem like the programming is backwards, or at least the definition of what's supposed to be happening.  I think it may have been more logical to not have the Off option, just different levels from "loosest" to "tightest."

I agree with you, even though the logic of the options is correct, the notion that "off" means "magnetism off" thus "traditional snap is on" gets lost easily. It took me some minutes and playing around to understand the logic behind the options myself too, when I first dealt with it some years ago.
I ended up having it always "off" and use traditional plain ol' snap! ;)

I read it keeps resetting to 16th notes, which certainly seems to be the case on my system. I think a patch fix is incoming.

Thanks RB! I'll give that a try.

 
Mike, thegeek has your answer.  Click "P" for Preferences, go to Customization>Snap and Nudge, and under Snap choose to turn "Magnetic Strength" off.  With it on, your notes won't snap to the resolution. 

I remember it being pointed out in earlier threads that this "Magnetic Strength" function seems to have been reversed.  The strongest snap is with this off, the weakest with it on--surely that's the opposite of what's supposed to happen.

Thanks RG! I'll give that a try.

I wonder why that problem isn't being universally experienced?  I haven't had it reset to 16th notes yet.

Wicked, what about the other problem talked about here, with the note resolution setting changing when you select a note - does that happen to you?

I was having all kinds of issues with MIDI notes not snapping to the grid until I tried running X1 in administrator mode.  Now it's working like it's supposed to.  Might be worth a try if you're not the administrator.

This is what I am experiencing: http://www.screencast.com/users/kahlilg/folders/Jing/media/429469f2-2496-4c6c-a406-0ca646ee3cf8

OK, Aeosus - I've watched the vid 4 times now.  What am I supposed to be seeing?  You change the note resolution after you already have 4 quarter notes in a measure.  You grab and move them to the 2nd measure - you move them back to the first, and each time the notes are totally snapped to the grid.  --What am I missing in your point--?

Randy B.

As soon as I click on a quarter note, the snap setting changes from "measure" to "quarter".

I would prefer that it stay on "measure" (or whatever I choose) regardless of what the note value is that I click on in that group of notes.

This was probably a too-simplistic example. I am more interested in it working when I have (for example)  a 4-bar phrase that starts on the last sixteenth note of a measure and I want it to snap by measure to the same place a few bars later. WHen I click on that note, I want the snap settings to stay on "measure" and not change to "sixteenth".
