Well I feel that the note editor (control+k) will be very useful, at least
it is for me, since I am not pro and make lots of mistakes, lol. For a pro
musician, then, it must be awesome! It is even talked about a lot not only
in Andre Louis' tutorial but also in James' one.
Good luck!
André.

I haven't gotten into the note editor part of this yet. That's a place for
future exploration.

Doesn't the note editor help you with the correction of small portions of
the music? I ask because of the measure problem you are having. Also, the
zoom option can help you to check the song beat per beat instead of whole
measures.
Good luck!

Okay, now that I've gotten a chance to work with QWS, finally, (Took
forever
to dig through the garage to get my Axiom) I've gotten a chance to figure
out how it works.
There's always a learning curve. I had to bite the bullet and "read the
friendly manual" to find out how to set up a track for recording, as my
sequencer I've used for the past 23 years will let you just start
recording
on any blank track.
Two things have thrown me off a bit. First, the metronome countdown
doesn't
differentiate beats to indicate the start of a measure until it starts
recording. I found those beat differentiations help me get into the groove
for the track.
The second thing that caught me a bit off guard is that record initiates
recording instead of arming a track to record. I'm used to hitting the
record command, then telling it when to start through a key press, usually
the play command. I haven't played with the synchro-start feature yet, but
I
plan to give that a try.
I seem to be having a problem making it quantize things properly, but that
may be a selection problem. I'm never quite sure where I am in the
sequence,
and I've deleted the wrong measure more than once. Attempts to select the
entire track haven't made much difference to the sound of the track, and
the
lag issues I'm experiencing mean performances are a bit out of their
proper
place.
I've got to find a better sound source for it -- this built in wavetable
synth is driving me nuts with its lag problems, so I'm going to try
Raymond's suggestion and also go through the stuff I have here for use
with
other stuff.
Is there any way to get my M-Audio Axiom transport controls to start,
stop,
rewind, fast forward, etc? That would be quite nice and mean less taking
my
hands off the musical keyboard to go to the computer keyboard. The Axiom
doesn't have enough space on it to put a computer keyboard on it like my
Kurzweil K1000SE MkII Extended does, so I can't do this the easy way.
Still, all that said, it's a nifty little program, and I love that it
saves
everything in standard MIDI files.
