Hi,

Found a small bug in Jamstix 4, which is stopping me working on a tune.

I've got a song that has 8 bars of verse, in 4/4 time, then one bar of 2/4 "break", then 8 bars of 4/4 chorus.

I can't create that structure, in the pattern builder on the left.
I can make a verse section, that's 4 bars, repetitions 2, to get to 8 bars of 4/4
I can make a chorus section, that's also 4 bars, repetitions 2, to get to 8 bars of 4/4

But if I try to add a part between those, called "Bridge", that's length 1 bar, 1 repetition, of 2/4 time, I can add the part, but double click to check it, and it's been changed to 4/4 time. I change it back to 2/4 time, it changes itself back to 4/4 time

This is in Tracktion Waveform 9. In the host DAW, the first 8 bars are 4/4 time, then there's a one bar change to 2/4 time, then 8 bars of 4/4 time.

If i play the host DAW, and watch the parts in Jamstix, it either plays Verse, Bridge for 4/4 time, then Chorus, or sometimes plays Verse, jumps to Chorus, then back to Bridge, then back to Chorus, if I don't start at bar 1, when i hit play.

Hope that explains how to replicate this.

Just tested in Reaper to rule out the host. Same problem in Reaper, the "bridge" part cannot be changed to 1 bar of 2/4 time, it changes itself back to 4/4 time, in Jamstix.

Well, I feel stupid ...

I've just found the "Allow time sig changes" bit in Options. That was greyed out, presumably the default.

Turned that on, apparently I now can create a part that's in 2/4 time.

So .... not a bug after all, user error.

CARRY ON, NOTHING TO SEE HERE
