Default Midi corruption

My midi looks fine until I open the midi editor. Any ideas how to fix this as it is currently uneditable. Thanks !

I have attached my project here so maybe someone can help find why the midi looks fine in the arrange view but when I open the first midi item in the midi editor the notes are way too long. Oddly it plays correctly. Thank you for any help.

The MIDI has tons of overlapping notes. If it plays back correctly you might try just gluing it?

Schwa, thanks for the reply. I tried gluing it and it did not change. I also tried exporting the midi and reimporting it and it did not change. I expect I screwed it up by dragging one note when others were selected but what confuses me is why the arrange view looks so different (correct) than the actual midi data (overlapped).

I've sometimes seen something like this happen with glueing a MIDI item.
In your case, was it like this right after recording?

I don't have a solution, interested in finding one myself.

Could it be that the MIDI clip was Imported from a MIDI file from somewhere-else.

If so, maybe it was a multi-track or multi-channel (or both) MIDI file?

I don't know when it occurred but we played all the parts on the piano and I may have drug some other midi notes while these were selected. The oddity is that the arrange view does not show this which makes me think something is off.

So i have seen some situations where a midi note will display in the midi editor but not in the arrange view.

It always turns out to be midi note overlap, even if just a little.

I don’t know with certainty, but i just think it is how the arrange view handles note overlap...

I have the latest version of Reaper 6.42 dev1208 and I find selected overlapping midi notes are buried so I can't select their edge to resize.

I have had cases like that. I will insert a dummy track above or below that track and move the midi notes on top to it temporarily so that i can get to the edge of a note in order to resize and then move the notes from dummy track back.

It looks like that is what you are doing and it does not work?

Yeah it is but it's a big piece so I'm just going to make the piano player replay it. I just wanted to mention it in case they want to address it as a bug since it should overlap the other notes when it is selected

I'd just like to share your pain here.

Overlapping midi notes in the reaper editor are a PITA sometimes to deal with....
