To the smart people here: How do I perform this old, favorite trick that I used in ver. 8.5?  When in Piano Roll/Drum Map Mgr view, and I want to transpose a part to a new note location.  I USED to be able to simply click on the part name on the far left, and that would automatically capture all notes in the song for THAT part, then, EUREKA! I click on 1 note in that line, and simply drag ALL the notes at once to the location I desire!  What could be simpler?  Of course, the NEW way!  Except, I just can't find it now.  So, can someone PLEASE tell this ole fart that doesn't know anything what's the NEW & IMPROVED way of doing this?  YES! I'm already familiar with using the Process/Transpose feature, which is definitely slower, and more cumbersome.
 
BTW, please don't RESOLVE this thread, unless it makes it easier for the nice geeks to help each and every problem I run up against.

It works the same way now. Use shift to keep the notes at the same time position. The Smart Tool will turn into a cross when its in the drag mode.

Thank you, sir.  SERIOUSLY!

As far as I understand you, John is correct. It still works that way! Just put the smart tool over one of the notes and when the cursor turns into a 4-way arrow, hold the left button down and drag where you want. If you want to keep same time position, hold shift before clicking, then move up or down.

You know... you probably don't want to hear this as someone who has been using the program for a long time but you would likely benefit from just working through the tutorials at the start of the manual. They are written to get people up and running relatively quickly in all the most important areas of the program and seeing as how you already have experience they should be a breeze. They also link to more in depth entries on the topics discussed. I don't think the X3 pdf is out yet or if the online help is fully updated but for stuff like this even checking out the tuts of the X1 and X2 manuals should give you much better idea of how things work in the X series.
 
I mean the forum can help answer your questions but if you have to log in, post then wait for an answer you could have very easily gone through most, if not all, the tutorial entries.
 
Just some, hopefully, helpful advice. The tuts aren't just meant to help get beginners going. They help describe the primary functions of that specific version. They will help alleviate some of the pain of switching from the pre X series.

Thank you, sir.  SERIOUSLY!

You are welcome. 

So, the feature that used to be under Views/Toolbars where I used to be able to take In/Out different toolbars, where it appears NOW to be in the Modules section.  I SHOULD be able to move and/or, take In/Out different modules as I please.  So, while I frequently use the Punch In/Out feature, I usually use the Selection feature.  What would be really cool is if I could take out one of the OTHER current modules that I hardly EVER use, and put in BOTH of the other modules.  Heck, if the designers were 1/2 as smart as I think I am, they would let me set up several different screen layouts, and save them for different scenarios.  You may have set up such an animal, but I can't find it, and I don't know where to look in the 2100 pg manual.

Thanks John. Nothing like having an up to date UM.
 
Regards,

I found it!  Now, can someone tell me how to PERMANENTLY save that layout to somewhere other than my C: drive.
