Hi Rumpel, Sorry for not replying earlier, things have been busy. There's no way to explicitly set the duration of a step or beat in either of the objects. One way to work around it is to set the Time Property to "None" in the soundObject properties, then adding a Multiply Note processor to work with the p2 and p3 fields to scale the duration and startTimes to the beat value desired. The reason for not setting the duration per step/beat is that then there would be no correlation between the values within the object and the visual representation on the timeline. i.e. the length of the generated score would not be related in any way to the duration of the object. The ability to change the value of the beat would have to be implemented as a new feature. If you'd like to add a request, please use the Request for Enhancment in the help menu and add a ticket on the Sourceforge tracker and I'll try to address. I'm currently heads down in the rewrite work for blue2, but I will be reviewing the RFE and Bug trackers before release and will try to address those that are quick to implement (which this would be).
