didn’t make a blip of a difference.
there seem to be 2 possibilities (providing that i was clear in what i am trying to achieve. but i assume that you have access to WL6 to create the desired results there):
either it is not possible to do this in the modified MN dialog of WL8
or I fundamentally lack an understanding of the parameters of the MN in WL8 that prevents me from achieving the results I want.
in which case i would really appreciate if you could enlighten me on this matter.(i am happy to provide the test montage on dropbox if that helps)
i have spent so much time on this issue now that the latter option would be fine too, as it would allow me to put the matter to rest and stop trying and thinking I am too stupid to figure this out.
please help. thanx.
