I am using Cakewalk Home Studio 2004 to edit a MIDI file created on a Rodgers organ with PR-300S (and saved as SMF). I have been able to do most of the editing that I need to do except one thing and I do not seem to be able to find how to do what I think should be very simple. There are a couple of places in this piece where a chord was held too long and it disrupts the rhythm. All I want to do is remove one beat from one measure and shift everything that follows over to fill the gap. That is I want to delete 24:02:000-24:03:000. I have been able (I think) to "select" that one beat but the edit-delete menu only seems to delete things like tempo changes, events, etc. Doing the delete does not remove/shorten the notes. I have tried everything I can think of -- even resorting to trying to make sense out of the "help" information. I think I have done what the help stuff suggests as well but it does not remove what I want removed. Can any of you Cakewalk experts help? ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
