Request - Lokasana???

Howdy...

I've aimed this at you, Lokasana, because you seem to be so on the case of midi scripts... but really it might be for anyone.

Ok... so I have the set of lua's by tenfour and have them set up on a toolbar used in the arrange window... the ones inparticular are for 'insert held note..'

I use them with the Inline Editor view on a MIDI item.

So I can insert whatever notes are being held on the MIDI Keyboard at the edit cursor and by using each of the diff lua's the note will be a whole note or an eigth note, etc.

The problem is that the inserted notes remain selected.

I tried to make custom actions that would add the U key [unselect all notes for the Inline editor] but since we are dealing with Inline editor actions and also Main actions I can't get what I want.

So wondering what it would take to either:

Modify the tenfour scripts to unselect all notes after they are inserted.

Or to have a lua that would do that unselect all notes that I could use to add to a custom script for each of the tenfour 'insert held note' scripts.

Probably the first choice would be cleaner but I'd be happy with either way.

Maybe this already exists and I don't know of it.???

Open tenfour-foundation.lua, and look for this:

reaper.MIDI_InsertNote(take, true, false ........

That command occurs twice in the file. Change the true to false; all the notes it inserts should be unselected.

thanks so very much
that pretty muchy did it for the insert notes functions

I wonder if there could be a lua that would simply unselect all notes
for the inline editor view... that could be added to this toolbar in the Main Toolbar menu?

even with that script edit, I still find a need for that.. and although there is a key comman for it "U", there seems to be no way to get it into the TB menu...

[hopi]

maybe I don't understand something in reaper [what else is new?]

here is the thing...
when making a toolbar that runs in the main arrange window.. but that is intended to run actions for the Inline Editor, I can't add actions from the Inline Editor section of the Actions list to it...

This seems really odd since the only place one would use the Inline Editor is in the arrange view...

the general discussion also

The API can't do anything with the in-line editor, but I should be able to go "Unselect all notes in selected items". Give me a bit.

Lokasenna_Select all notes in selected items.lua
Lokasenna_Unselect all notes in selected items.lua

Check ReaPack in a few minutes.

@Lokasenna
Lokasenna_Unselect all notes in selected items.lua

I already made this feature, but it is part of my ReaTab pack. I guess I can remove it from the pack now. ^^

I think you should add MIDI in the name, because there is notes (items notes) and notes (MIDI notes), so having this extra keyword can make better filtering and prevent confusion.

Fair enough, will do.
