> That way, I can only make the note a "block" short. > Not a "line", if you see what I'm saying... Any ideas? You need to set the "snap" value lower (down to "tick" if you want really short notes), which is on the toolbar along with the metronome, count in buttons etc. btw. You can find all this sort of information out by reading the helpfile and using the online flash based tutorials. Andy
