For tracks, I want to be able to drag MIDI sections to the beginning of a measure. I tend to have my snap settings at 1/16 for the piano roll, but I want to be able to drag items in the track view to the beginning of a measure. Is there a way to do this, notes at 1/16, MIDI clips to whole measure? Thanks :D

Yes, the PRV can have it's own separate snap to settings so you can have measure in the TV and 1/16ths in the PRV.
PRVs are set towards top right corner of the view
 
If you set the variable IncludeSnapinScreenset=1 in your ini file you can have different snaps per screenset.

One thing caught me out the other day...

I had my Musical Time Snap set to Measure.

I had a MIDI clip that I wanted to copy a number of times, so I selected the clip and using the mouse and holding down the CTRL key, I started to copy the clip.

I then noticed that the MIDI clip was not being copied as I expected. The MIDI clip had a note that started around a sixteenth note in the previous measure.

It was then that I realised that X1 allows you to change the way events are copied/moved when dragged. I had left the setting as the default, which is Snap To Value. But when you left click and hold, a context menu drops down, and you can choose two options; Snap to and Snap By.

So, when it is set to Snap To, my MIDI clip copied such that the event that overhung into the previous measure now snapped that overhanging event to the start of the new measure.

That is not what I wanted, so I then set that to Snap By, and this time by MIDI clip was copied "by" a measure.

Pretty obvious really, I just didn't spot the fly out menu on the snap to grid button top left of screen.

I just thought I'd share.

In cubase...

I would copy a midi measure then paste it into another track.

When you do that it stops at the last note so if it doesn't make it to the end of the measure, it will not be a full measure.

If you repeat it a bunch of times it will be more out of time the further you go.

So before repeating you have to drag the measure end edge to make it one measure long.

Haven't tried it in x1 yet...

Thank you all very much, this is the info I did not know and now I am much better off. :D No more having to zoom in to move MIDI clips to the right spot:D
