MIDI CCs

So after a MIDI recording, I wanted to make manual corrections to vibrato depth which I was controlling with aftertouch. In using Ctrl+click-drag or Shift+Ctrl+click-drag (Draw/edit CC events ignoring selection, Linear ramp CC events ignoring selection) if I wanted to start doing this from on top of a bar that's already there, it highlights the whole cluster and horizontal mouse movement will "push" the cluster back around a beat and also make a transparent green area based on the last value previous to the cluster, I cannot shift it back to where it was, and dragging it backwards will seem to erase whatever is roughly 2 beats in proximity, altering the height of the green transparency. Vertical movement scales the values. I found this to happen on a plain click and hold without modifiers at all. Strangely only some clusters of events exhibit the issue. The undo related to this reads: "MIDI editor: Set CCs" I tried making some changes in Editing Behavior > Mouse Modifiers in Preferences but I haven't gotten results. What is going on? How can I make this work more sensibly for me?

chapter 16 of the manual explains automation in detail (midi cc data can be used for automation). otherwise you might want to record a licecap (), upload it here: and then paste the code into your post, since from your description i for one haven't a single clue what you're trying to describe.

never seen and cant find that option Tod, whats the action called exactly?

oh yea, stupid action sections...apparently i've always had that on and turning it off now i'm still not sure what's different.
