How do I enter a precise program change?

I'm just starting with some of this more archaic midi stuff, and I can't find a way to add a program change to a track without having to painstakingly work the cc bar into the proper place. Anyway I can just enter it? EDIT. NVM, event properties. Select the bar, ctrl+f2 or right click on empty space and choose it from the menu.

In the MIDI editor piano roll view, set the CC lane dropdown to "bank/program select". Double-click the lane to insert (or edit) a program change event. The bank/program select dialog should default to GM sounds.

You can't add one under event properties. I was adding an event in the "program" cc lane, and then selecting and editing it with event properties.

Ah, but you are assuming wrongly that I would also use that OTHER MS P.O.S. Media player in the first place! (grin) Mind you, I have been using Roland sound canvas products for many years live.... The funniest thing was the amount of reworking I had to do on midifiles authored on the SD35( basically an SC155 with a disk drive) when I upgraded to an SC88VL. Such a comfort to know that your chosen sound source company are making sure all their products really ARE compatible, like they claim. Even the SC55 and SC155 modes on the SC88 werent anything like close to the actual sounds of my box. *sigh* But all that is behind me now! Nowadays I avoid all the media-playerly stuff by only using audio recordings on a gig, if anything. MIDI stays in the studio.
