Hi Tim, thanks for your reply. "Should be under <options> <song settings> <pattern length> I usually opt for 32bars per pattern Actually is there a way to make this the default as I am fed up with changing this for each new composition ?" Sorry to ask you this but I don't have FL instaled at work. Can you have different pattern lengths inside same composition? Thanks again. ______________________________________________ Rui Barata Parts Quality Tel. +351 241 899 800 - Fax. +351 241 899 872 E-mail: rui.barata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.mitsubishi-trucks-eu.com ______________________________________________
