I love Logic's ability to timestretch MIDI data by command/alt clicking and dragging a sequence. Does anyone know if you can do the same with automation and if so how.

I tried the method below, but it did not work. For example measure #2 begins on the 3rd beat of measure one. So I need to expand the region so it begins on the first beat of measure #2. Olushola

The way I timestretch MIDI info is just to drag it while holding command and alt/option. The info box tells me its stretching and once I've reached the desired length I get a dialogue box asking if I want to time compress or expand the contents. I found a way to do it to the automation too. By converting it to MIDI (hyper draw) data. Go to Options > Track Automation > Move all track automation data to region. Then apply the above to the region.

I have used this conversion to hyperdraw and back for other reasons, but this is a really great idea. Thanks Colin
