Microsoft says: "This is an unsupported way to load Visual C++ DLLs."

Probably something to do with tkinter?

...so if anyone has a suggestion/idea?

Working fine here (Win XP 32bit), thank you.

I just tested it, no errors here so far, seems to work fine.

I like such "creativity aids" when the damn writer's block is round the corner.

Though I hope the Reaper devs can somehow make working with tkinter apps like this a little less quirky.

Currently:

- hides behind Reaper's window when clicking anywhere in Reaper

It is possible to place the tkinter window on top of other windows with "wm_attributes("-topmost", 1)":

class Application:

    def __init__(self, root):
        self.root = root
        self.root.title('ReaChorder')
        self.root.wm_attributes("-topmost", 1)
        ttk.Frame(self.root, borderwidth=5, relief="sunken", width=740,height=300).pack()
        self.init_widgets()

Undo should work if these (bolded) lines are added to ReaChord_Functions.py:

from sws_python import *
from contextlib import contextmanager
from random import randint

@contextmanager
def undoable(message):
    RPR_Undo_BeginBlock2(0)
    try:
        yield
    finally:
        RPR_Undo_EndBlock2(0, message, -1)

posi = 0
.
.
.
def drawMidi(a,b,c,d,e):
    with undoable("Undo point name here"):
        selAllNotesTselection()
        deleteSelectedNotes()
        MidiPos = 11520
        rand = randint(0, 2)
        #drawChords(a,b,c,d,0,'verse',rand)
        e = int(e)
        d = int(d)

        if e == 0 or e == 1: # Chords only
.
.
.

Here's another "undo" example (flip selected notes - post #38):

This is the most annoying thing with tkinter - ReaScript doesn't support multithreading .
