Yes, you are correct, the newly imported *.smt always creates a new track version. But I always delete the old one or make sure that the new one is active. So that doesn’t seem to be the problem.
Did you check out my screenshot? In that test I’ve deleted all previous versions in both the source and destination projects. Still time signatures are misaligned and can not be aligned later on manually as Cubase insists that they are in the right spot which they are obviously not.
By the way, are you using any custom created Click Patterns?
I really was excited that you’ve found a workaround.
Well, ir seems we’re still not there yet.
Maybe someone from Steinberg will chime in and give us a hint of what’s going on here.
