Maybe this one is user-error or something, but here is what happens often: Snap is on and set to a value (like 1/8 note)./ In other words, the Grid above the word Snap is lit in blue and a note value next to it is highlighted in blue. The Event Draw Duration under the tool set is also turned on and set to a note value (like 1/8). Despite this, when I use the pencil to put notes on the staff, the notes drop at weird values (like 3:03:41 or 4:02:03), not at any normal note or beat divisions. Why is this?

I haven't used SV since I was going through the tuts but I seem to remember the same thing happening to me. I think there was a Right click option on the pencil tool or something that brought up a snap menu for the pencil specifically... or maybe that was a dream. All I know is that I found it annoying.

Until they implement chord boxes I propably won't use the staff view.

Hi Konrad, I assume you're using X1d, which I tested and found the same results. I believe this bug was supposed to be repaired, but not really certain that it was. Hopefully, X2 will be fixed. The experience I had was that sometimes the snap-to would work fine, other times not, and it did not seem dependent upon which settings I chose. JG www.jerrygerber.com

Thanks, everyone.  My experience is the same as Jerry's (jsg's).  Seems to be a persistent bug.

What's your problem you rude sob ??

They do have chord boxes.

It's true they have a chord grids selection but I don't see any chord diagrams on my staff view.

I managed to get them to appear above the SV in the traditional manner. It's a pain to do and working with the diagrams is weird and wonky but the feature is indeed there.
