When a beat falls inbetween 2 squares

MastaCheefa	Date: March 11, 2006 @ 7:46 PM What do you do when a beat just wont fit in the default blocks that fruity gives you? If talking about the blue and red squares that are grouped in fours you use to place where a sound should be played. I have a note in a beat that falls in between squares 2 and 3. If I select either square 2 or square 3 the beat sounds off. It needs to be inbetween the 2 squares. How in the world do I accomplish this?

bobisonthecob	Date: March 19, 2006 @ 4:15 AM there are several ways you could do this i suppose. two that i would recommend are: select the box that comes right before where you want to beat to land. then press shift + G, scroll the box that appears all the way to the right to something called "shift" fiddle with the beat in question's bar graph it will move that one beat forward a small amount but will not affect the rest of the measure

TheGreenmatics	Date: June 24, 2006 @ 2:42 AM Don't know if this would be of any help, but you can also go to the part called 'line' which is just under the 'PL' button on the top right of the screen... click on 'line', select 'none' and then you can move the blocks around between the lines in the playlist.
