Now I remember why I never used it: The Meastro Default version is based on a 2-segment "vertical tilde" and always draws about a 5th too tall. I tried it with a 1-segment "vertical tilde" and it's still about a 3rd too tall. That could be manageable if the top adjustment handle would adjust the

Hi, Everyone! Is there some simple way to shift all the notes from a certain point to the end of the song forward or backward in time by a specified amount? In Digital Performer, this is called "shifting" and you choose "earlier" or "later" or tell it exactly where to shift to. I can't seem to f
