Hi Paul,

I recently purchased a P3. I have been using the new OS for about a
month now. I am hoping you can enlighten me on the relationship
between parts with bars, and the part ordering and playback.

I have set up one part with 8 tracks, all of which have 5 bars of
music. When I play this part alone it works perfectly. It plays each
bar in order with the number of repeats I set. Then I copy this part
using the Page 3 function Copy Active from Part 1 to Part 2. If I play
part 2 alone it also performs perfectly imitating the bar structure I
copied.

The problem arises when I select Part 1 and 2. I would expect that
Part 1 would play all 5 bars, then move to Part2 and play all 5 bars.
It does not. Instead it cycles through the first bar of each part.

I am guessing I have to set some global parameters but I can not
figure out what to do and I dont see anything in the release notes.
Any help appreciated.

John, P3 novice
