In the video, I’m adjusting the relative timing between grace notes and the main note, which makes great differenc on musical effect. As for Milliseconds reading on the timeline, who cares?
Is there a way to turn off this floating info box?
Hi and welcome to the forum,
Unfortunately the video doesn’t load on my side.
Is it the Preferences > Editing > Tools > Select Tool: Show Extra Info by any chance? If this option is enabled on your side, could you try to disable it, please?
Thanks for reply. Yes I already came across similar thing when browsing the internet and checked in my daw, unfortunatly that checkbox deals with some similar, a floating infobox that appears when hover over event in the track window but not midi notes in the piano roll editor window. But still thanks a lot!
It’s showing you exactly how much the note has been moved, and how much the pitch has been changed. It’s very useful information. If the box is blocking other notes, adjust your zoom level. The feature isn’t the problem.
People who compose music generally don’t care about milliseconds–they care about rhythm. You’re seeing millisecond values because you have your timeline set to Seconds instead of Bars+Beats.
Seconds are useful for sound design, syncing to video, or precision editing some effects. They’re counterproductive when editing MIDI notes in a musical context.
Switch the timeline to Bars+Beats, and the popup will show musically relevant values instead. If you aren’t really sure how measures (bars & beats) work, just say so–I’d be happy help.
Thanks for replying! my work involves something more classical oriented or maybe say flexible approach so I don’t really follow a predetermined tempo, it’s a pity that cubase doesn’t give us the option to disable this help tag.. thanks anyway!
