Split MIDI clip doesn't work about qtractor

because you'll have a hard time splitting a clip in it's very beginning (or ending).. you can only split a clip (or anything for that matter) if the split points are inside or between its edges.

hi, maybe you confused the two Split actions available:

1. Edit > Split - this will split clips at the selection (blue shaded) boundaries; if you select the whole clip it won't do nothing much or anything at all (I believe this is your case);
2. Clip > Split - this will split clips at the playhead location; on the current highlighted track.

that's all.

You are correct Master Rui!

So, you say Edit -> Split should "split clips at the selection (blue shaded) boundaries" yet if I define the blue shaded boundaries and choose Edit -> Split on a MIDI clip nothing happens. Shouldn't this spit be removed, greyed out or fixed then if its actually only the other Clip -> Split that works (on MIDI clips)?

[rncbc]

the split operations are the same for both audio and MIDI clips

if the selection boundaries match any of theclip edges, the split is simply no-op at that boundary, of course.

"if the selection boundaries match any of theclip edges, the split is simply no-op at that boundary, of course."

Of course? Why not? In my case I wanted to delete the first bar of a clip so the first boundary is at the start of the clip and the track. Why should this not work / be considered a "no-op"?
