CUBASE SX3: Does anyone know a way to...

Try a google search for musical/linear timebase. Cubase puts midi tracks in linear mode by default.

You have more learning to do, then. Cubase has always done this, since Atari days.

You can change the default behaviour of tracks by going to file/preferences/editing and selecting "musical" in the "default track time type" dropdown.

You will also see a little icon like a clock in the inspector for the track. Click on this and it will change to a crotchet, indicating that the track is in musical mode.

yea i do have alot to learn about Cubase then
thanks alot! Im gonna give this a go, and also look some more on google to try and find more indepth examples. I figured it was something as simple as me working in the wrong mode

Rather than google, you might try the Cubase forums at Cubase.net ::: Index for a mine of info by some very experienced Cubase users. The forum even has a very useful search facility.

yeah, as said.. just the little button with the clock or the music note on it to change the mode over

The Cubase help files works pretty well also.
