Hello Tim,

I have confirmed the crash you encountered in 2.5.1 when attempting to record. This bug will for sure require a 2.5.2 maintenance release fix soon.

In the mean time, though, you can work around the problem in either of the following two ways:

1. In the Perform menu, choose the Record / Pickup Beat Options and set to 0 the "count of full measures before starting recording."

-- or --

2. If you want to hear pickup beats (and you probably do), add two empty measures to the beginning of the song. There should be at least as many extra measures at the beginning of the song as there are pickup measures specified in the Perform menu's Record / Pickup Beat Options dialog box (as in #1 above). Before you start recording, select a region in the track that starts after the empty pickup measures.

If you run into additional problems, please let me know.

Thanks for this report!

Cheers
-- Mark
