Script to generate Ear Training exercises

[benigno]

Hello,

This is my first script in Lua and in Reaper them both. So please be kind with me.

Anyway, the script allows users to create midi items to create ear training exercises. I have created a video explaining its functionality.

Special thanks to Lokasenna and the ReaTeam for sharing his GUI.

Web page with all the info http://benignocalvo.com/2017/10/07/e...re-mp3-script/
Github page for the script: https://github.com/benignoc/ear-training-chord-creation



Please let me know if you like it, and any feedback or corrections that it might need. Also I don't know if any other thing needs to be done for distribution... I mean if there is any kind of script repository to which one needs to submit the script or whatever.

Thank you guys,
Benigno.

Nice! Thank you for the script!

"Problem when clicking GO too quickly, the randomization depends on the time, but I think this goes down just to the second, so if you click twice quickly within the same second, the items generated will be identical If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated"

- Easy fix: instead of using os.time, use reaper.time_precise

And just to be sure no same items are generated, you could save generated items into a table (or into a file) and when GO is clicked, you could index the table and see if the item about to be generated exists already. If yes, then make a new randomseed and check again until a non-existent item is generated

Thanks that did wonders, it is updated.

Your suggestion is interesting, I disregarded doing this because I tend to create several during different sessions, so avoiding duplicates within one launch of the program was not so critical given that maybe you launch it several times. Still, it would be all the more solid doing it so... I'll add it to the TODOS.
