[RWP] Reaper Glitch?

[Indigo]

Oh, Gianluca, I definitely found the project's RPP file and clicked on it.
It recreated the project, with no item in the Alchemy VST synth track.
That midi item simply ceased to exist; I guess.
No problem, I'll just recreate it, and make a habit of saving more often.
Thanks,
Indi
