I was recently working on an audio project in RG using an existing midi as a guide track and encountered a couple of pesky issues I haven't run up against before.
The midi I imported (understandably) didn't have any audio track, so I added eight of them at one go via tracks->add tracks.... Doing so has the unfortunate result that all of them come up as audio #1 rather than audio #1-8 as might be expected and as is the case in a new empty file. As such, they have no independent volume control and are all on the same effects bus. A suboptimal arrangement. While the solution was simply to manually change them to audio #1 through audio #8, it didn't jump right out at me until after a bit of thinking, never having come across this particular situation in my 15+ years of using RG. Is this a bug or a feature? My second irritant is that it is no longer possible to copy and paste between separate invocations of RG. I distinctly remember having done so in the past. That is to say, if I have a part in one file that I wish to paste into another, it won't do to open them both up in seperate invocations of RG and copy and paste between them (as I have done at some point in the distant past). The clipboard is not shared between the two instances of RG. Instead, I have to open one file, copy the stuff I want, close that file and open the other. Ok if it's just one copy and paste operation, but get pretty darn tedious if I want to transplant several chunks. I struggle to imagine a context in which I would prefer the current behaviour to the old one, but maybe there's a perfectly good reason for it in someone's eyes.
