[Rwp] Osara selection problems.

[onlineeagle]

Hi, I think you'll get used to working without it, as you can still do what you want to achieve, but just in a different way. Mark your start time with alt shift left bracket, control page down or page down tomove the bar/beat you want the selection to end at, then alt shift right bracket to set your end point. With a tiny bit of practise it should become a part of your workflow and be second nature. 

I understand that it can be a-bit disconcerting and frustrating to have to relearn a way of doing something that you've been able to do easily before, but I think you'll get used to it and it may not be an issue at all eventually.
