Re: [xl7] Re: Help! Missing bars in song playback

After typing the following replies, I thought of something.  Just so
you know, changing the length of a step *does NOT* alter the linear
song track.  You have to explicitly cut and paste in the linear track
to move events.  If that's not what you're experiencing, nevermind.

Right.  I'd recommend recreating the pattern chain first (i.e. song
mode step edit) and saving that to two locations (so you have a handy
backup).  Make sure it works, then copy all the bars from the old
linear track and paste them into the new sequence.

THe only thing I can think of is that somehow a wonky pattern change
event got in there and the step editor is parsing it differently than
at playback time.

Shhh.  They're shy.
