@Brado231
Yes I need to update all the scripts to support this new feature for 5.20. Loudness Graph already supports it. And my new script in the making too. But this reminds me that I need to finish Notes Reader 1.0 too. I have a dev version with new design and features like karaoke. But I was so much involved with the loudness graph script that I forgot a bit Notes Reader. I must find time to complete Notes Reader. Thanks

@heda
Hi !
do you publicly released the Split Words (text items) scripts for karaoke ?

--
I was playing with UltraStar, a free open source karaoke software with pitch recognition ala SIngStar, We Sing, Sing It... etc
Karaoke Files are just simple txt files.

Maybe you could be interested by having a script to convert your karaoke text items (syllabs) and a MIDI track as reference into to this format ?
(maybe it is harder than it sounds as there is no way to link a note to a text. Just random ideas :P ).

I'm releasing it this week. It is an automatic one to split the words, and another one to split the syllables, but you have to manually enter the spaces to define them and then sync the text items manually too.
I want it to be exported to ass format at least. Which is the one I use to render beautiful karaokes with effects etc. I don't know that format or which is the most standard format for or karaokes.
I think, at least in ASS it is a bit strange the way it stores the syllables position.. as percentage of the word position.. instead of absolute time as the words. I'll have to study the format.

oh cool !

Based on percentage ? That's oiriginal.

The Ultrastar format is pretty straightforward, it is based on BPM, syllabus and beat position, with pitch of the notes. No text effects.
But it require to have MIDI track for the vocal, and only work with Ultrastar, as far as I know.

Hi
Yes. You can change the color of the items, and the reader can use that color for the text, or the background color. right click to show the options.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I don't see a way to change the font by right-clicking...

Can I edit the eel file to change the font???

Thanks in advance, & btw, the note reader is awesome for having lyrics on the screen while tracking vocals, super job man!!!

ah I thought you wanted to change the color, not the font itself.

you can change the font in the global options file.
font_name = "Arial";

or in the EEL file, but that's an old version, search for "Arial"

Notes Reader VIP 1.0pre3 update. Using multiple tabs works now. It needs more testing, and some optimizations to be done. But at least now it should work with multiple projects opened in tabs.

Default Follow subprojects

I love note reader and all of the HeDa VIP Scripts.

thanks for making these scripts.

I'd like to request support for subprojects. I think the most versatile solution is a separate window/reaper for subproject. Another methodology would be the choice to lock the reader window to the master project and have it run in the background when synchronize backgrounds and play background projects is engaged.

Thank you!

yes I think it should be possible to make an option to read from a specific project tab. I need to test if this would work in sync while playing from other tab. Thanks for the comments

Hi Heda,

Is there a way to overwrite the default state of this script ? I would like to be able to specify the dock state.

Thanks

Hi
You can do this:
dock it where you want and exit the script.
now open the file reaper-extstate.ini
and find the latestdocker variable:

[NotesReader]
LATESTDOCK=3585.0 <--- this value

You can edit the Default Settings.cfg file in the notes reader folder, and set the docker variable to that number
for example:
["docker"]=3585.0,

save it and next time you open notes reader for new projects it will be docked there

Thank you!

I think heda has an action that can turn project markers/regions into empty items so it can be used with things like this

@bombicri
you need to install SWS extension. Many of my scripts use functions provided by SWS extension.

Yes. Why not? There are many screen capture programs that could do this. OBS Studio for example.

Hi, this is a FR: a single instance of the script could read items from several tracks.

I have notes in 2 tracks, they are the same importancy-wise. They are divided because I did not want to have overlapping items on one tracks.

Also, bg and progress bar color could be customisable.

Maybe you can user one track only, but with the items in free positioning mode?

you can customize background colors in global options.ini file
The progress bar gets the color from the item color. Like the text color.

Thanks. There is a project attached.

I have tried FIP, but it does not read more than one item at once. Actually this bug kind of a does that, but overlaps those texts and does not take a proper item from another track. If it would take the items under the edit cursor and display them on seperate lines, that would be what I'm looking for.

One more thing I have noticed - when "Color from item" is unchecked, the progress bar takes the color of the next item.

And one more - when "Font size" dialog is canceled, the scripts crashes.

thank you bFooz. I have made some small bug fixes. You can update it.

at the moment it doesn't support overlapping items or items from another track. You could try using the second instance of Notes Reader. (3 are included), that can read from another track. I know it is not what you are requesting, but it could be a workaround for now.

Or another solution which is what I use for some chorus parts where the main vocal is singing and the chorus sing at the same time, is to split the item where an overlap would occur, and copy the text of the second overlapping item into the first note as a second line in the note, Because it can read multi-line notes.

attached the test project with the karaoke track sample. It is needed a second track with the karaoke items by syllables. There are some scripts provided that help to split the items in the notes track by words into the selected karaoke track. Then you have to adjust the timing of those words manually, listening to the song. Once you have the karaoke in sync the second step is to split the words into syllables. There is another script included to split each word into syllables items by separating the word with spaces. It's a manual process that can take some work to do. You have to manually split the words and syllables and sync the items to the audio. But once you have the karaoke track done, it's cool

+ Text wrap in multiple lines when fixed font size is used.
Now when using fixed font size, the text breaks in multiple lines when it doesn't fit in the window width. But it may not fit vertically then. You must find a balance between font size, vertical window size, and number of words in your texts
Karaoke doesn't work with this mode yet.

Default Notes Reader Instance Doesn´t Save

Hi! First of all congratulations for the excellent job!
My issue is with Notes Reader.
It seeems that Reaper doesn´t save the instance of it as it does with SWS Notes. (not in a reaper file, nor in screenset)
How can I proceed?
Thanks for the attention, greetings from Brazil!

Anyway, I´ve made a custom action to open this and other scripts that I always use and the action to place the last focus window (Notes Reader is the last) on docker. Then I used the tricky with reaper-extate and finally put this custom action on global reaper opening and voilá!

Anyway, is there an easier way of doing it?

Hello israeltandrade
Thank you for your comment

You can autostart scripts following this method as described here
https://reaper.hector-corcin.com/supportfaq#autostart

This method is better and gives less problems than the SWS autostart action.

Excellent tool!

What I want to do is to use it in order to present the sounds that a composition has in real time. It's perfect for that!

But I installed it and couldn't make it display parent and children item notes in multiple lines as it should according to the GIF screencast.

I don't see the option in the "options" menu and if I try to change it from the default configuration text file the script doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Very useful tool! Started to use it today, here is a question: is it possible to make text scrolling with mousewheel? I use it docked for clients mix edits (long list), font resizing is not an option.
