The final tutorial (so far) – number 5 – is now up. Have incorporated some corrections where possible.
Mike
Thanks for the positive feedback and suggestions – I will do the suggested corrections in the next (probably last ) video – i.e the marquee stuff etc.
Got it! I switched snap off temporarily, and now it works. I know what snap is relating to timing, but would never have linked it to extending.
Thanks for your generous help.
Maybe I will do some ‘absolute beginner’ tutorials on Youtube when I peogress! (I have seen your more advanced ones).
Thanks thcilnnahoj, yes it all helps – the phantom advice is excellent, but I cannot get that far:
I have the setup as you described – the arranger shows one bar only. I Locate the bottom handle, at the bottom right of the track in the arranger, and get the double-arrow, for dragging.
BUT when I click + drag, no dragging happens.
I messed around with CTRL+click_drag, and a black area is shown as I drag, which vanishes when I let go. Do I have to ‘unlock’ the track in some way?
Thanks for the great advice, ronin – I get it now.
Re the ‘1 bar’ problem.
I have simplified the problem. The screenshot below shows the notes.
I created a new project, then a new track, and put a vsti in it.
I go to the note editor, scroll it right a bit into bar 2, and see:

(I don’t know if the darkened bar2 is important)
Then I paint 2 bars of notes, and see:

I play it – with space – Playback stops at end of bar 1.
I hope you can help!
