# Notation editor: don't show track/measure settings menu on left-click [t=238093]

Ty, better.

[sockmonkey72]

Regression (macOS 12, arm64):

when creating a new script from the Actions window, a .lua file is created even when an EEL2 script is requested via the pop-up menu in the file dialog.

If you provide an .eel extension, an .eel file will be created, but if you provide no extension, .lua is always awarded.

Just bumping this, it works correctly on Intel, not on arm64.

+ Notation editor: treat click on measure start area as a click on the first beat of the measure, even if there is a key signature or time signature change

This still needs fixes bellow. (currently without (3) it's actually quite messy)

2) remove the clef-like mouse cursor on hover. The function of the left click is now unchanged over this area, so no reason to change the cursor on hover.
3) stretch the hit area for the right-click bar menu from the barline all the way to the first grid line. There is no need to limit the length now when the behavior was changed.

Why not do this:

Btw, "Close" and "Back" buttons should have the order reversed, so its "Back" and then "Close". It's just the logic of operation. I am always confused which one I should press.

As for implementing the OP request, maybe 3 radio buttons:

After render do: o Nothing o Go back o Close

Currently, I need to read the new options, if the above was implemented, I would need to just scan the options.

Plus this on checkbox vs radio https://www.justinmind.com/blog/chec...ttle-commence/

There is no way to rename C6 to Am.

Thanks for the FLAC updates and fixes

Would be nice to have prox files in compressed format, like wv. Now is only 32bit wav, and it is waste of space, because prox files are often having parts with silence. There is FR from years back: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=202014
