Hello Scaler 3 forum. I have created a chord progression, changed the length of some of the chords and then added a passage performance to the chord progression. When I drag and drop the chord progression to a Ableton Live clip the chord progression with passage does not play as expected. The chords over lap each other.

If a chord has been edited in Scaler 3 so it is 2 bars in length, the chord that follows it is 4 bars in length and the chords have a passage performance, when dropped into a clip the 2 bar chord is 4 bars in length and over laps the chord that follows it.

Has anyone else noticed this challenge? Am I doing something incorrect?

Thank you in advance.

Hey @dread Yes Dragging and Dropping MIDI from the Main Track with Motions ON is not behaving as expected at the moment. We will get this behaving better very soon!

Hi @dread. Drag and drop with Global Performances ON now exports the correct notes in [Scaler 3.1.0.6](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/scaler-3-latest-version/20939/4).
