[Ardour-Users] Ardour 5.6 moves MIDI notes to the left?

[Paul Davis]

Talking with another of our developers, there was a bug in 5.6 that may be
affecting this. Please try a build from nightly.ardour.org (the free/demo
is fine if you're not a subscriber) and check if the issue still exists ...
Thanks.
