The problem is there is a command called Set Timecode at Cursor, which allows you to align any timecode point to any bar position in cubase. So if you want to align 1 hour 1:00:00:00 at bar 5, yes this works, But the start of the frame is not right at the bar line you specified… The bar line specified is usually in the middle of the first frame.
The only point that Set Timecode at Cursor reliably works where the start of the frame is at the point specified is at the first bar in the project. So you can set the first bar in the project to 1 hour, and then the start of the first frame is right on the bar line.
@steve : But that is because I couldn’t see the future. The issue exposed itself when trying to nudge by frame. It was @Martin.Jirsak that realized there was no problem with nudge by frame which was working correctly, and that the real problem was that the frames weren’t aligned correctly. I don’t know how to change the title of this thread, which should now read, Set Timecode at Cursor doesn’t accurately set the start of the frame at the cursor.
