Default MIDI editor: Cannot grab note start to change length



Make a clip with full length notes, try to change length from beginning of note.

Midi Editor options > Allow midi note edit to extend the media item.

Hope that's what you're after.

Edit: Just noticed that the media item in your video starts at bar 1 of your project. I don't think you can extend the notes beyond the start of the project.

I'm sorry but I'm not looking for any setting or extending notes beyond the clip, as you can see the handle to move the note start doesn't appear.

Sorry if I misunderstood. As you can see below, I have no problems grabbing the start of a note to re-size when the note starts at the beginning of the item.

Your note isn't full length, that's why.

Edit: notes spanning the whole clip can be actually different lengths if they are created via slicing the clip in the arrangement view.

I can resize "full length" notes without issues here too:



EDIT: Is "Start in source" set to 0:00.000 in the item properties?

Default I think I figured this one out... Grid on MIDI editing

I think I figured this one out...I think we had the same problem, and I think it's the Grid on MIDI editing--double click your MIDI item in the track window, then on that MIDI item edit window, make sure you adjust the "Grid" to the proper note value, so that you have enough grid lines. By default, it seemed to be on some odd thing, where if I grabbed either the left or right side of an individual MIDI note, it would stretch in the opposite direction, and made zero sense... Even though the "Grid" on the main tracking window was set correctly, the MIDI edit window (not sure if that's the proper name of the window) but the MIDI edit window has its own, separate Grid, and once I changed that to 1/16 (or 1/16 "triplet") then I was able to easily grab either side of a MIDI note and stretch and snap it to the grid.

just to add more key words here, reaper MIDI note editing, reaper midi note stretch, reaper midi note adjust, reaper midi note trim

Default Try this:

I was having trouble with this today: I found with a fresh midi recording I could edit lengths etc afterwards no problem, but if I copied notes from one track and put them on another track, it just wouldn't go into the mode to drag notes, I could only add new ones.

After much messing about, I found if I highlighted the new midi item, and did 'glue selected item' I could edit lengths, positions etc as normal
