Grouped tracks - multiple playlist - comping - key commands not working as expected

[propower]

I was editing a group of 3 tracks with 7 takes and found that the key command for going up and down the playlists (CTL + P, CTL + ; ) yielded unworkable results. The cursor would jump to the next track in the group rather than just going to the next playlist in the track I was using as the edit one.

Any one else seen this? Was i using the wrong Key Command?

PS - I so dearly wish that SOLO on the playlists would follow the edit cursor...

Lee,
Were these tracks grouped before of after they were recorded?

I have found PT to dead on with playlists PROVIDED the tracks were grouped before you ever record onto them.

The few times I've grouped them afterwards, it's been iffy.

Grouped before
OK I did a test with 3 grouped tracks and 6 playlists

If you put the cursor in Lane 1 of the top track and hit "CTL + ;" the cursor moves correctly but the screen view jumps (putting the next track down in the center -*repetitive CTL + ; works smoothly but if you go CTL + P it jumps again putting the upper track at the top f the screen.

With 7 lanes zoomed to take up the height of the window it is jarring- to me.

Hmm, all seemed good here. I got all expected behavior I think. Unless I am missing something.

BTW, in command focus mode, you don't need the modifier.

Yes - now zoom your track 1 and all its playlists to fill the screen top to bottom and try it. You will find the off screen stuff jump in and out. I had a Mono track that was easy to focus on and 2 stereo ones that kept jumping into the screen...
