Selecting a clip (diff track) causes key editor to focus on beginning of clip instead of cursor

[Tonegroove]

I think I found a similar discussion here:

Key Editor goes to beginning, not cursor

Ok, since there is some curiosity going around I tried to observe myself to see what was causing the erratic behaviour. Turns out I am doing something strange. I often am only single clicking a clip and this doesn’t bring the focus to the front and so F will do nothing useful (as far as the Key Editor is concerned). You need to double-click and then everything works as it is supposed to in terms of window focus (but not in terms of cursor positioning). Here’s some more details for you: The reaso…

The problem is this:

• Edit some notes on a clip on a track somewhere in the middle of the song
• Click a different clip on a different track (in my case, a piano part)
• I want to be able to quickly see the notes around the cursor
• Instead - I have to double-tap the spacebar to cause the key editor to scroll to the current cursor position

It seems like it would make a nice toggle feature. When editing a bunch of MIDI clips, having to double-tap the spacebar is a real headache.

Am I the only one seeing this somewhat blatent issue?

Cheers!

Hi,

It works like this since ever. Actually, it depends, how do you open the Key Editor of the new MIDI Part. If you click just once to the MIDI Part in the Project window, the view remains. If you double-click (so you actually open a new window), the view changes to the default, what is the one, you described.

The workaround is to hit the [F] Key Command twice. Then you disable/enable the Auto-Scroll, which forces the window to show the position of the Cursor (playhead).
