It’s not so easy for me to describe the Problem in English, but I hope you’ll understand:
In Cubase 8.5.10 it is not possible to save created Chord-Type Presets when they are differnt typed like the Factory-Cubase-Presets.
Step by step:
- Open an empty projekt. Create a Midi-Track. Draw a Midi-Event.
- Open the Score-Editor. You see empty bars. Draw a Chord-Symbol for example “C”.
- Open the “Edit Chord Symbol Dialog”.
- Type in the “Chord Type”-field “m” (often used for minor). Now you can apply it to the Chord by clicking on Apply.
- Save it as a preset by clicking on “Store”. Now “m” appears in the Presets (drop down menu).
- Now open the tab “Chord Symbols” in the Symbol Inspector. In the latest createt Preset-field should now be a “Cm” but it is a “Cmin” .
- Also when you’re clicking with the right Mouse-Button on the Chord-Symbol in the score, a dialog opens, where you can apply a Chord-Type Preset.
When you choose “m” the Chord in the Score changes to “Cmin”. The only way to apply the own created Chord-Type is with the “Edit Chord Symbol Dialog”.
This also happens with other Chord Types:
Co appears as C
Co7 appears as C7
Cj7 appears as Cmaj7
Cno third appears as Cdim
Cmin7/b5 or Cm7/b5 appears as Cmin 7/#11 …
The only workaraound is using the presets in the “Edit Chord Symbol” Dialog. But this is not very comfortable.
Please, can s.o. confirm this issue?
Best regards
