Thanks! Works good for audio items. However for midi it doesn't feel good, especially when the item is empty

Mac version appears to be missing notarization. APPLE!

that's been fixed, but as for what I told you about yesterday, I don't understand. I can enable or disable the razor edit option you mentioned, but the behavior of the copy and paste with razor is not convincing. I'd like to be able to copy and paste without the headache there's something I don't understand maybe I need a tutorial. sorry for the inconvenience.

Glad for this! I'd make the case for this being checked by default--explaining that unlooped items can extend past the file content has always been a weird one to explain to students/new users.

Can anyone tell me the names of these actions ? Thanks !

Please see if I'm right.

It seems that the Alt shortcut doesn't work for, Hide lane buttons

Thanks

Hmm works here (MacOS)

+ Editing: add preference to limit edge/crossfade edits to source media content for unlooped media items (checkbox in mouse modifiers preferences)

Many Thanks ! good timing, I recently bumped the related thread: Prevent item edges from extending past the source content


For ref, here is the setting



A bit surprising how it works for now with non looped MIDI items, it will redefined item edges at MIDI content





Maybe it should just do nothing for MIDI items, current behavior. What you guys think ?


Anyway, non looped MIDI items is probably not very common. This behavior can be fine I guess.

Respectfully disagree, i may have looped a midi item maybe twice since forever. At least it should be optional.

Yeah not sure what that comment was about. All score composers disagree as well, and many other musicians

[tohubohu]

Mac OS 10.15.7

there's a bug above the numbers and 'selection', it's truncated

I asked because: Right-clicking on the button for Large/small lanes, shows a menu that contains among other things:

Show/play only one lane-----Shift
Hide lane buttons------------Alt


I thought that opening the menu and just clicking the Alt key would hide the lane buttons.


Best Regards,

Very nice!

+ Editing: add preference to limit edge/crossfade edits to source media content for unlooped media items (checkbox in mouse modifiers preferences)

Stretch isn't working with this option. And I guess it should be possible to drag the edge of midi items at the end of their source after shrinking it. Like to restore the midi item's initial size

[sockmonkey72]

Posting this here since related to v7 MIDI Editor/CC lane stuff, please move if it's not appropriate:



Note that click/drag causes the info display of the 1st CC lane to become (irrelevantly) active, while the relevant note info is disabled. Same thing happens when click/dragging the velocity 'fader' inside of the note bounds.

Hi devs!

"Hide lane buttons" is an amazing addition.

For the "hide lane buttons" mode, when track is tall enough, it would be great to display little buttons and rename this mode to "hide/small lane buttons"!

Exemple:



Also, as this mode will probably be used by many people and very often, it would be great to add an option for the initial display to be this mode.

Thank you very much!

[ovnis]

There is an issue with "Hide fixed lane buttons" action.

It acts like a toggle action or there is no state (on/off).

I would like to have an action which always does this: "hide fixed lane buttons". Actually, it's not possible even with cycle action (because no state).



Thx!

[AZpercussion]

1. If I drag or copy razor area, while lanes are collapsed, it just change comp area but not items, as it should.




2. Small blue buttons for resyncing are hidden while lanes are collapsed.



Also these buttons quite invisible, they looks even better in my 4x theme than in default 6 and 7. Could they be themeable?

i understand it's every action that toggles comping (this is not new actions).
will try later.

thanks Schwa!

[bolgwrad]

1. New project
2. Insert track, set 'fixed lane'.
3. Enable comping (dbl-click on header). Don't create a comp.
4. Right-click on the empty SOURCE lane or shaded comp band (if enabled) at bottom of lane.
- Crash (not to desktop). One crash said 'Juce window'.

Why does "Track: Toggle comping" action do this each time I run it ? Track: Toggle comping for track at mouse does it too.

[PhelixK]

+ Lanes: display lane collapse button when track is tall enough, regardless of user setting for empty space at bottom of track [p=2726084]

Much appreciated, but when track is minimized, the click zone for the button seems to be affected by increasing the space at the bottom. Hopefully the size of the zone can be preserved:

Because it's a cool way to start recording in fixed lanes with comping on.
If there's already a comp lane active it disables comping, the above happens when the track is not in fixed lanes mode, so it sets a comp lane to record and start comping.

Please rewatch my licecap. It's logical to make a C1 and 1, but why would it do the other things on each time it's run ?

Ah you're right. that looks like a bug I just tested as well. It's changing name and numbers after doing this a couple of times.

[ferropop]

Got stuck in an undo loop agagin yesterday that was impossible to traverse, I'll try to recreate. Anyone else come across this?

Something with restore fixed lane track state I think. I noticed too that undo blocks.

EDIT:
It seems it's gone in this release.

The theme element is 'Fixed lane comp lane unsynced media item'.

Ah, good to know, thanks!

[Reflected]

Unexpected behavior/bug:

1. automation envelopes are lost when moving plugin into a container (drag and drop into a container)
2. automation envelopes are lost when moving plugin FROM a container (drag and drop from a container)

An image file would be nice to have, too. Or is there one already?

that seems like a bug. it happens when you have "auto delete empty lanes at bottom" ticked and have no items in the lane. so it looks like it's actually doing what it says it should do. just in this perticular situation it would be better if it did an exception

[MonkeyBars]

Yes! Every time I undid a certain comp area edit, Reaper would immediately redo it
