Free Item Positioning as used by Playtime incompatible with Reaper > 6.54

[Former user]

Hi Ben, see details here: https://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php?p=2653414&postcount=1251

I built a short proof of concept which automatically disables Free Item Positioning on any Playtime track. Unfortunately Playtime is quite persistent at always reenabling freemode whenever it starts playing or recording something - haha. Thus my workaround currently fights against Playtime and always disables it on the track that Playtime just enabled. This solves the graphics glitches in Reaper reliably and I have not found any negative side effects after intensive testing. Hence the request is that you please remove the setting of FREEMODE via the API in Playtime. The items still align beautifully in lanes as per Reapers natural capabilities. Thanks for considering (I doubt that Justin or Schwa would consider changing Reaper which would be the other alternative to solve this).
