I like to record with no quantize but also no delay commands.
That’s a bit of a paradox - precise recordings are only reallypossible when Renoise is allowed to use the delay column.
So I guess you’ve got quantize set to 1? Which means, everything would be delayed somewhere between (almost) 1 line or less - just like you describe.
However, you can increase precision without using the delay column by increasing the overall project tempo. Or (if it’s a matter of avoiding notes “all over the place”), I made a tool which allows you to record into phrases.
However .when overdubbing a pattern loop when recording is still active , even when delay
is enabled , some notes get replaced when they fall
