Title: Automatic Setting of Timing Upbeats
Post by: MichRX7 on August 27, 2020, 08:56:46 AM
Is there a way to take a timing track and subdivide the entire thing by two?

I have a beats track, but also want the upbeat like 1&2&3&4&. I tried different settings for the beat timings, but can't seem to get that. I also see I can export, hack the XML and import though that seems like a ton of work (and math). I also tried to highlight the entire track to choose to subdivide, but it seems like I have to ctrl-click each beat and about 30 beats in I miss-click and have to start over.

If I could shift-click the entire track it would be easy, but I can't seem to do that.

Please help, I'm sure there is probably an easy way to do this.

Yeah you can night and right click and select divide timeline marks. I may be off on the name but that is how you do it.

Thanks Keith, I do that all the time, what I can't do is select the entire timeline and subdivide each timing section. Or, if possible, add a timeline that does 2X the beat timing marks so you get the 1&2&3&4& instead of just 1-2-3-4. I tried to double the value when creating a timing by beats thinking it would 2x it, but instead of 1&2&3&4& I got 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8.

And I figured it out. If I right-click on the name of the timing track I can change it to variable. For some reason it was static. Now I am able to highlight the entire track and sub-divide. Thanks for your assistance.

When you create a new timing track with fixed intervals we create it as fixed which means only one
One to define it instead of a line for every mark....Which means it would have been more efficient to create a new fixed timing track with the smaller interval
