Simply following the path at the top left of the angle editor (or even in the timeline window of a compound clip) will tell you that you are editing the (master) clip in the event and not that in the timeline.

No, you can’t. And when running beta software, bugs are to be expected as well as it not being possible to pinpoint whether it’s even FCP’s fault. If you actually want to help, I would report it to both teams.

Actually, I meant which one exactly. Then one could look inside to see how it was built and whether it e.g. has some stray masks or something. Otherwise it’s just a random guessing game that will get us nowhere.

You simply create a new project (timeline) for every edit! If you need the previous edits, you can either make a compound clip of it and use it in the other projects or simply copy/paste.

Which title template are we talking about?

That’s what “Paste Attributes” is for.

I hear ya. Feel pretty much the same.

Well, I wouldn’t go quite THAT far. 😀
I wasn’t suggesting you were doing anything wrong per se, just that by what you describe of your project, with e.g. all the compound clips, it strikes me you may still be missing the needed experience (and maybe said knowledge) to be tackling such a seemingly large project. (which is not to say that *I* haven’t been guilty of that in the past ;-D) But since you have apparently done your best with the homework, you at least get an A for effort. It just initially sounded like you may not even have done that, so I apologise for being presumptuous.
What you are doing “wrong” or how it could be done better is near impossible for me to say without actually sitting in front of it. Otherwise any and everything I suggest (which could be any number of things) may or may not be applicable or even useful. Therefore potentially redundant and/or pointless and also a waste of both of our time. Again, no offence meant. And for all I know, you may in fact be doing what’s best for that particular project. But then, as I’ve said, having what sounds like an inordinate amount of compounds, suggests you may at least be overthinking or “misusing” some of the workflow options.
Either way, I hope you find the best possible workflow for the project. There are an amazing amount of organisational options and tools in FCP X that can be eye-poppingly useful for one project and at best mildly useful for others. Experience and constant fiddling are your best friends. 😉

… and that event/project had a total running time of over 11 hours, too, btw. (spread across 50+ projects)
