Hello! I'm a long-time user of Music Maker, but I just got the 2024 version. I'm unable to manipulate where the red vertical marker is placed, so I'm unable to make specific edits. Anyone know the fix?
Hi
Assuming you mean you cannot position the cursor at an exact location, ie it snaps to the nearest location, set the Grid setting to No grid.

I've had something similar - but different - happen a few times (3?), but only when the red marker was out towards the end of the project: I couldn't move the marker forward (closer to the end), but I could drag it backwards. The way I "fixed" this was by dragging the (yellow) Bar Ruler end marker out a bit further to extend the number of bars. After that, I could move the red marker as desired.
Some questions to help clarify the issue . . .
- assuming you have loops in this project, are you able to Play/Rewind, etc, with the Transport controls?
- Is this with a particular project?
- What happens if you close/reopen the project?
- Does this happen with a new project?
- Does this happen in any/every project?
Thanks @gjonny! I'm able to play/rewind! My issue is with all projects in the 2024 version! I've updated the software, restarted the program, restarted the computer. I've been wrestling with this for a few days now. I click where I want the red line to go, and the program puts in the general area, but I can't move it to the exact spot I need.
In my OLD version of Music Maker, the fix was to zoom in closer, then I was able to move the red line anywhere.
I appreciate your ideas! I tried adjusting where the yellow bar ruler was, and it didn't affect my ability to move the red line!
@johnebaker Yes, that's exactly what's happening! Thanks! I don't know where Grid settings are, but I'll search now...
@johnebaker That fixed it! Thank you! I'll be able to sleep tonight!
