The confusion arises from the way REAPER applies its "Snap to Grid" function in the MIDI editor.
The following screenshots all use a time signature of 7/4, with a Snap setting of 1/4:
FL Studio
Reason
REAPER
As you can see from the screenshots, FL Studio, Reason, and most other sequencers apply a Snap setting of 1/4 in a 7/4 bar as being one beat of the bar of 7.
REAPER applies the same settings as one 1/4 of one beat of the bar of 7. To get the expected behaviour in REAPER, you need to set the Snap setting in the MIDI editor to 1, not 1/4.
While this may be unique, it's another source of confusion for people migrating from other sequencers. Maybe there could be an option added to make the Grid setting behave the same way as other sequencers?
