LPX tempo recording using fader is intermittent

[David Pickell]

Hi - I'm a bit frustrated - I have one of those items Amin mentioned in another post - a piece needing slight tempo variations I can write in real time. I have set everything correctly, and here's the issue: it 'sometimes' records, and 'sometimes' doesn't. I can't seem to land on the variable causing this. 

In my mind, the tempo recording track should act like other tracks - erase-record, be susceptible to punch-in etc. But this intermittence is bothersome - I complete a great take full of lovely RITS and ACCELs and only to find it has not recorded. 

ANY idea what the variable might be that's causing this intermittence? 

Thanks guys,

Followup - this was the result of trying to punch in to a successfully recorded opening segment -

I'm having this same problem with 10.7.9. I have the tempo fader set up the way you do and it records correctly about 1 out of 10 times. But, most of the time, I see the fader events being recorded in the event list and all looks good, but when I stop the recording, the tempo events don't go to the tempo track and actually change into something that makes no sense:

The tempo events self destruct into whatever that unnamed event is and then there are a few straggler tempo control events at the bottom. I have Allow tempo change recording checked, but I get this result whether it's checked or unchecked. This is a new project, so there shouldn't be any corruption or settings that would be getting in the way. It occasionally works, but only on shorter passages. If I try to record tempo events for an entire song, then I just get a longer list of those bizarre, no status events that were formerly tempo control events. Is anyone else seeing this or have an idea about what might be causing this?
