I’m finished charting drums/vox/guitar/bass for Wheatus’ “Teenage Dirtbag”, and tried charting the end-of-chorus transitions in 8/8 so that the verse doesn’t start in the middle of a measure. Everything looks fine on the RBN preview, but when played in the game, the quarter-measure before the transition contains gaps. It plays the first note of that quarter-measure, has a quarter-measure gap, then resumes the next notes normally.

 

Any suggestions? I could just grin and bear it, and have the verse start in the middle of a measure, but it looks a lot cleaner doing it this way. Changing the signatures to 2/4 yields the same results, there’s still a quarter-measure before it where the 1/64th division lines disappear, and the first note has a gap afterward.

Can you post project and audio files?

At M27 Reaper chewed up a measure (look at the measures title bar and you will notice some garble). Once you remove the time signature change you will see two beats showing up empty (make sure to remove the following time signature change too because that will subsequently chew up another measure). You’re gonna need to move back those notes on all instruments.

That happens when you apply a time signature change to the wrong beat. Here you’ve applied a 2/4 time signature change at the 3 of the measure (time signature changes occur at the 1 of a measure). It will probably look fine when you apply it, but once you reopen your project Reaper will try to interpret what it sees and it will chew measures up.
