Hello,
I have the following problem: I have recorded a keyboard on an instrument track in a project, for example. The keyboard starts in bar 6 and plays in 4/4 time. Now I change bar 5 to 3/4 time and insert a 4/4 time change in bar 6 so that nothing actually changes from there on. However, the MIDI event of my keyboard shifts backward and now only starts on the second beat of bar 6. As a result, the keyboard is no longer synchronized with the click.
Actually, I want only one beat to be “dropped” in bar 5, but everything to remain as it was from bar 6 onwards. I have already tried switching back and forth between temporal and musical mode, but neither has made any difference. Can anyone give me a tip on what I need to change so that my events stay permanently in the same bar position and don’t shift?
Thank you in advance!
Hi,
If your MIDI Part originally starts at 6. 1. 1. 0, you change the Signature of Bar 5 to 3/4, the MIDI Part moves to 6. 2. 1. 0. (in fact, the position is beat 240).
So the only way to fix it is to move the MIDI Part back to 6. 1. 1. 0 maually, after changing the Signature.
Everything is relative, as Albert said.
In fact, the MIDI part doesn’t move backward, but rather the time signature moves forward, because one bar is suddenly a quarter note shorter. In other words, the time until the MIDI part starts is a quarter note too long. Therefore, the time before the part must be shortened by a quarter note to make it fit again. Ideally, this happens at the first beat of measure 6. So, select the Range tool, highlight the first beat, and execute the Delete Time command in the context menu.
Or you can do it the way @Martin.Jirsak said, Albert will forgive you. 
Signature Track being an Artist/Pro feature.
Hi,
This is true for the track. But even in Cubase LE/AI/Elements, you can set the Signature in the Tempo Editor. The behaviour is the same.
