Anyone found a way to get around Sonar hot keys firing when you are trying to add letters to songbuilder ?
By that I mean if I try to add another v or c to the song builder, Sonar fires the hot key associated with this and the letter does not get added in song builder.

I can't find a way to make it type in there with the 3.5 beta, but luckily the cut and paste keys, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V and Ctrl-C seem to work. So you can create the string in Notepad or any place else you can type in Windows (like the search box on the Start menu, for instance

), then highlight it and Ctrl-C to copy. Then highlight the existing text in the Jamstix structure field and Ctrl-V to paste and replace it with your new string.
If you want to change what's already in Jamstix, start by copying that and pasting it into your editor, then edit and copy/paste back into Jamstix.
It's not ideal, but it's not a bad workaround until Ralph can find a way to fix it.

Next 3.5 Beta will also let you open a dialog box to edit the structure by clicking on the STRUCTURE label.

thanks for the information. Good to know it is not just me and there is fix coming in 3.5.
Not sure why I did not think about ctrl-c and ctrl-v....d'oh !
BTW...running Jamstix 64 on Sonar X2 and have had nothing negative to report so far. Very solid.
