Notation: trill
Small noteheads work fine.

There is still problem with the trill line for different note lengths, but another underlaying bug is present:

Top staff - Lower note is tied into next measure, upper note is shorter.
BUG - noteheads are missing for the lower note.

Bottom staff - ok, no tie into next measure.

[*]+ Tempo envelope: add action to set project display range to current project min/max bpm

Hi, musicbynumbers

Please, Do you already have the location where the contents of the "Tempo Envelope Display" window will appear in the 'ReaperLangPack' file? See the Image
So that I can translate to the Brazilian Portuguese language.

Could you help me with this? Because the template ReaperLangPack..is not updated since December 2018.

Kind regards,
Edison

very good improvements to the tempo envelope. Love the new action to adjust range to min/max.

Still, if I copy and paste tempo from one project to another with smaller range, the values are clamped to the new min/max.
It could check the min and max tempos being pasted or inserted and adjust the display range before pasting. That would fix the small issue, I think. Not critical.
Thank you!

That's by design. Is it obvious that you'd want to erase notes by editing their velocity?

Might be easier to delete stuff that are span over a lot of octaves at low zoom level.

The user is the one who picks the mouse modifier, so why not let him decide on how to use it? IMHO of course...another option maybe if it's too much to remove a restriction. But I can see it being usable in certain mentality.

Reset them to default velocity (96 / 100) - yes

of course I like it when I can choose my own fav actions.
but reseting the velocity with the mouse drag is very basic tool, it feels strange without it.

I have found that my issue in the last few dev versions where muted notes in the midi editor do not color correctly only occurs on a track that I have run this sws script on

SWS: Set selected track(s) children to same color

If I don't use this script to color tracks the notes mute as expected in the midi editor.

For what it's worth.

Speaking of muted events... Currently, muted CCs block the automation curves that connect surrounding unmuted CCs, and also change the color of the fill below the curve.

This means that the user does not see the actual curve that will be played.

I suggest that muted CCs should not be connected with curves; instead, they can be drawn as isolated lollipop heads without any automation curves, and automation curves should only connect unmuted events.

Who says 96 is supposed to be default velocity? What should be the actual default? Different instruments will respond differently to it...

Dunno I don't think we need that mouse modifier. But I agree that it should be possible to remove events in velocity lane with the corresponding mouse modifier, Breeder makes a good point.

Agreed, with ED re: removing velocity events with mouse.

Perhaps there could be an action to set all selected velocities to a default number (set in prefs). I often find myself doing: select all->event props->set velocities to same number. I'm not much of a keyboard player so my capture performances have to be heavily edited.

Are there changes to the MIDI track and item color modes still considered?

There has certainly been a regression from the latest official release. Keep in mind that the reason to have track color mode enabled is so we can tell which track an event is playing on.
However, if we, say, have all our Strings tracks green and use brightness to distinguish between different string sections (Violins, Violas, Celli, Double Basses) the current version doesn't allow for this, because a wide range of different brightnesses will display as very much the same color in the MIDI editor:

Also look at the note in the upper right, it's on the active item. Why is it the darkest note on the screen, when it's acually on the brightest track?


In the official release things are not accurate as well, but at least there's a difference between very bright and pretty dark:


Why can't we have really accurate note colors in these modes in the first place? The regression happened when people complained that selection is not obvious enough in track/item color modes. But I don't think this is an improvement at all. It made an already not perfect situation even worse.

While selection is now more obvious when looking at a single track, it is hampering with the purpose of the mode. You'll choose this mode because you're looking at multiple tracks. But a selected note on a dark track can look scarily similar to an unselected note on a brighter track (this is no regression, happened in older versions as well, just in a different range of brightness):

(in this example, the upper note is from the dark track, but selected)

I think using brightness as a means to indicate selection is the wrong way to go, if the original color is nowhere retained. Please rethink this.

^ as i mentioned the last time this came up, it might help in some track color cases to have the optional ability to assign a single color to all selected midi data, regardless of track

if i use 10 midi tracks and none of them are pink, pink would be an incredibly obvious indication of which data is selected and which is not -- rather than selection just changing the brightness of selected data.

obviously wouldn't work for every use case but we're deep in workflow weeds anyway, and in this example the proposition fits my needs while hopefully allowing for gofer's issues to be resolved

Code:
# API: fix GetUserInputs() with 16 + extrawidth + separator [p=2140362]
@Schwa
Nice ! almost ready

So we can now have custom separator on retval CSV,
but we should have the same separator as input val CSV,


Indeed, in my scripts the GetUserInput value is saved so the script can be re-run with the last input values.
We can input comma separated values on field, however we can't input this csv back in default input fields, cause it will split the string at each commas, not bothering with the custom separator.


It we could have the custom separator also affecting the string we put in the input_csv fields, it will be perfect.


Thanks !

Default Note Names

Thought I'd mention this, the "Note Names" do not reflect the CCs anymore. All CCs show their regular names.

If that doesn't mean that in your example selected notes will be completely pink but still have an area (more that the tiny one pixel border) with the original track color, then I am with you. In track color mode I do want to know a note's track when it's selected as well.



Looking at my pics, a different issue jumps at me:
In the track list of the latest pre-release item names will only be shown when they are changed from Reaper's defaults. Instead it shows item position only. The pic from the release version shows them proper.

That test project was born rather hastily in my basic temlate (not orchestral) in the latest pre. I didn't even notice that I forgot to change item names after I chose to make the example about instrument groups in an orchestra... My lazyness is obvious in the pic with the same project in the release version.

Reflected may be referring to this old bug report of mine, which describes the issue in more detail.

The velocity lane is currently somewhat idiosyncratic, using a combination of CC lane actions, piano roll actions, and hardcoded actions. Alt+leftdrag is the standard "Erase" mouse modifier in the MIDI editor (both CC lane context and Piano roll context), so I think most new users would expect it to work in the Velocity lane too.

did someone say consistency? because not being able to move the edit cursor by clicking empty space in the velocity/cc/envelope lane continues to surprise me, no matter how many times i do it. sorry for the off topic but i can't be the only one that this confuses

You are certainly not the only one. In envelope lanes ("Track" context), I have left-click linked to "View: Move edit cursor to mouse cursor".

(Not only should clicking in empty space in the CC lane do something useful like moving the edit cursor, it should also stop deselecting all events.)

I find bars easier to edit when there are multiple velocities at the same position. They also let you know the note length when editing velocity so that might be nice. Then again, lollipop look does look cleaner. There are so many options for MIDI editor, one more wouldn't hurt.

Was Doppelganger referring to the thin horizontal bars that indicate note length (and that are missing in his GIF), or to the thick vertical bars that were used instead of lollipops in previous versions?

In case of the latter, see EvilDragon's answer.

In case of the former, MIDI Editor -> Options -> CC/velocity lane -> Show note length in velocity lane.
