snap / copydrag question

if an item starts let's say a 16th before the beat and i copy drag it to another position, for me it would be logical if the item snaps to the 16th before the beat again and not, to the actual beat (messing up the timing) i mean if you are copy-dragging an item you are obviously satisfied with it's timing and not busy fine tuning it's position. is there a way to make reaper behave like this? or a work around? tnx. bas

Yes there is :): - zoom in on the start of the clip - you should see a triangle in the bottom-left corner - hover over the start of the clip until you see a double-headed with the same triangle below it, - drag this to the snap position you want (1/16th in your case). This sets the snap position for the clip - now it will snap using that position not the start of the clip: Here it is in audio and MIDI clips: Bigger pic: I've changed it on the lower two clips; in this theme the snap position marker is white. HTH

yes! that's exactly it :) i did find the snap offset property but i didn't know there was an easy way to adjust it. great, tnx for the speedy help.
