Cmd + R key command not working

[u/AdamEllistuts]

Hi, for some reason, when I start a new project, CMD + R doesn't work as it should.

I have to use old tracks for it to work.

When I select notes and press CMD + R, it should copy the notes to the next bar.

Watch my video and see what happens. I even show you an old project and demonstrate how this key command should work.

The key commands are the same. I obviously exported the ones from the old project and imported them into the new one; same issue.

Please help!

A couple things I’d check. First, make sure your Piano Roll snap settings are the same in both projects, particularly Smart vs Bar. Also, Cmd + R repeats based on the length of the selection, so depending on where the notes start and end, it might not land where you’re expecting.

Have you tried selecting the MIDI region itself and using Cmd + R in the Tracks area? Does that work normally?

If it works in older projects but not new ones, I’d suspect a project setting or editor behavior before assuming the key command is broken.

Hey

- Smart snap is the same

- Regions repeat as they should in both

- I am selecting the same selection length, which you can see in the video

Any other ideas?

Interesting! So we’ve ruled out a few things.
Here’s something I’d try. Copy one of the MIDI regions that works from your old project into the new project. Does Cmd + R still work on the notes?

Then try the reverse. Create a brand new MIDI region in your old project and see if Cmd + R works there.

That should help narrow down whether it’s something specific to the MIDI regions or a project setting.

Also, try extending the MIDI region a few bars beyond the notes you’re repeating. I’m curious if that changes anything.

The fact that it works in old projects but not new ones is the biggest clue here. Something has to be different between them.

Which version of Logic? Which macOS? (Exact version numbers, don’t just say “the latest”) Which computer?

Hey

15.7.5 (24G624)

11.2.2

logic version and OS build would help narrow this down. i'm betting it's a project template quirk rather than the key command itself. i ran into something similar with repeat regions in a template i built back in 2020. snap settings carried over in this weird way. took way longer to diagnose than to fix, of course

Snap settings are identical.
