Problem using the X Chord

Cubase
,
1

Hi all,
Searched and couldn’t find anything.

I use the X chord quite a lot to stop instruments playing back at certain points, and I’ve found it really useful. But I think the way X chords work has changed for some reason. If I change the key of all the chords, then the X chords change too.

Detail:
Win10
Cubase 9.5.30
Create new project
Add chords with X chords included
Highlight all chords
Change Root Key
X chords take on the new root key, rather than staying X’s

This is not so useful for me, but I’m not sure if it has been changed to work this way, or whether it’s something that has crept in.
I attach a couple of screen grabs.

That’s the way it has always worked.

If you select an X-chord and look at its settings on the Info Line you will see that its Root Key is set to C not X.

So if you select all the Chords and change their Root Keys that C is gonna change too.

Maybe you can use the Project Logical Editor to only select the non-X chords (not sure it’s possible without checking)?
