Midi issue. Help Please

[selsong]

HI there
Im using Cubase 12 Artist
Something is occurring that Ive not had before. Maybe someone has had the same issue and can help me understand what is happening.

So I will try explain:

I record a midi piano from bar 1 to 7 …and then I record another piano part on the same track., and I want the new part to come in on bar 5…I would just shorten the first part to end on bar 5, and move the new part into place on bar 5. Now, if a glue the two parts together, the “new” part now includes the original piano notes on bars 5 and 6, even if muted. thereby making the new midi part quite confused on those two bars.
This never used to happen before so I’m wondering if there is something I have not switched off that is making this happen.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

You say even if muted? If you are putting them on the same track, then they can't be muted, can they?
The way cubase has always worked for me is that you hit record with your selected track highlighted. The two track can overlap with the hatched warning - you can then drag the end of one in the overlap, so it no longer overlaps and then glue them together. Any midi data in the bit you shortened doesn't get played for me, and it's worked this way for 30 years. Coould you explain a bit more as this isn't normal behaviour, although knowing cubase it could be a tick box somewhere for people who want that thing to happen. The mute bit confuses me?
