Same note appearing differently between two clips??

Hello! I have recorded two side by side clips sequentially. The last note is an F and the first note of the 2nd clip is also an F. How is this visually possible? Thanks!!

In the composer, the parts scale and position the sequences they contain independently.

Seems you are in composer window and the first sequence is overlapping the second one. (Look at the top: The "Rec" is missing and you can read "orded Sequence(17)" only). So you don't see the first note of the second sequence ...

I understand these clips are overlapping and separate but their relative position of the notes should be the same no?? The end note and the start note are the same but displayed differently..

The same sequence can be played at different positions and for a different length, and each with a different transpose, velocity and swing.

Understood although these two clips were recorded one after each other on the fly without transpose or anything..I don't get it whe the end note being the same as the next start note is just not aligned..sorry.

The content of each clip is not exactly the same. The relative scale is based on the content within the clip. In essence, unless the clips are identical, their scales will be different. This is because some clips may have more "range" if you will, than others. If one clip uses 4 notes that are within two or three semi-tones of each other, the scaling will average accordingly. However, if the clip contains octave-separated notes, fewer or more notes, (different lengths might also be a factor?) the scaling will change respectively. This is so the composer window an display the full pattern of the sequence so users may see at a glance what the sequence contains. This algorithm was not intended to be a precise instrument. In other words, it is for glances and guesses, not for precision and information. As Mulab doesn't have inline editing, there's no real incentive to have the scaling of two sequences match each other. Cohesion is not intention of the clip preview.

Yep. There are 128 MIDI notes. To show all 128 notes in the same position would usually mean an awful lot of empty space and a thin band of useful information. Rather than do that, the part looks at the sequence to identify the bounds and gives a "close up" on that range, centred appropriately (I'm not quite sure how the vertical sizing works for sure, whether it's zoomed or padded to fit). So if different sequences have different ranges and/or different centres, they'll not "line up".
