Synfire 2.3.7
Finally, a long awaited feature is here: Snapping incoming MIDI notes to the current scale. It's very handy for recording melodies (provided you already have a harmony/progression). It also works with the palette and live chord recognition, i.e. if you improvise a melody (above the keyboard split), it will snap to the current scale.
Feature Enhancements:
- Audio Engine 4.6.2
- Ability to snap live MIDI input to current scale
- Ability to drag export chords from palette
- Click board available also on track sheet
- Library: Ability to edit playing ranges associated with phrase pool
Resolved Bugs:
- Fixed issues with Windows installer and fonts
- Fixed issues with recording preferences
- Fixed issues with global keyboard split preference
- Matrix console parameter block not updated dynamically
- Input delegation must be active from the start if enabled
Other Changes:
- Keyboard split should only be active during live chord detection
- Disable live chord detection when recording a phrase

Wow, its quite intersting to see which policy Cognitone applies for version, built changes. Alone the Library: Split phrase by symbol type feature would have justified at othe companies a major version. Thank you Andre for your very fair and ongoing product life cycle work!

Harmony seems to be read only. Is that an alias? Select the container, the track and the harmony parameter again. Does it help?

I have a similar issue re figures.
When I open an arrangement, select a track in a container editing of the figures work well. After a random number of editings, selecting a figure or a note is no more possible in any track or container.
It works again only after closing the arrangement and open it again.
I am using Windows 10 and Synfire Pro.

I have worked with Synfire a lot on macOS recently and never experienced this. I hope this is not specifically only with the Windows version. Platform dependent issues are a nightmare.
What happens when you press CTRL, or SHIFT, or ALT and then click again? That should reset the input state, which is a bit different on Windows.

It is very strange. The first time it happend just after a few editings perhaps 8-10. The second time after lot more (>20-30).
And now I edit since minutes on various tracks and containers and it works just fine.
When it happens again I will try with CTRL ALT or SHIFT according to your suggestion and report.
