thanks for fixing the race condition pop issue! i haven't been able to trigger it this morning. however, is it just me, or am i now hearing a (non-clipping, much quieter) pop on play stop on these stretched items? i have "tiny fade" enabled/disabled to no effect

Hmm on playback stop, I don't think anything has changed, so whatever you hear there should be the same as 5.983 etc. If you're hearing a pop when playing back the end of the item, let me know.

From past additions,..
Quote:
+ Keyboard: add "Main (override all contexts including text fields)" section which allows global keyboard overrides
Can someone explain that? Or is that from pre-global-key builds and was never removed from dev changelog?

If I draw a pitch CC line ramp and sent it to a hardware synth, the pith increase is stepped.
Is it a matter of CC resolution, is there a preference to setup ?

Yep, under playback interpolation

Yay!

The API help refers to "msg" starting with "version2:". This should probably be "buf" instead:
Code:
Lua: boolean reaper.MIDI_SetAllEvts(MediaItem_Take take, string buf)

If msg begins with 'version2:', the buffer must be a list of { int offset, char flag, int msglen, int extramsglen, unsigned char msg[] }.

Which string.pack/unpack formula can be used to pack/unpack the new format of "int offset, char flag, int msglen, int extramsglen, unsigned char msg[]"?


Quote:
The only extra data currently supported are:
3 bytes for bezier type: 1'b'0 for normal or 1'b'1 for locked
6 bytes for bezier tension: 4't' plus 4 bytes representing a float
What is a locked bezier type?


Existing scripts don't use the new "version2:" option, which means that the Get/SetAllEvts functions will not throw an error, but will work as before, without shape information, even in new versions of REAPER. I am not sure that is a good idea, since neither the script nor the user may not realize that subtle changes are being made to the CC shapes -- until it is too late and lots of undoing have to be done. If a function doesn't work properly, I prefer it to fail spectacularly, so that the user immediately knows that something is wrong. Perhaps the Get/SetAllEvts functions can either be deprecated, or they should be changed in such a way that older scripts won't work any more (but can easily be adapted by the author).

Here's an example:

Code:
buf=string.pack("c9ibiic3bc1bbc1fibiic3ibiic3",
  'version2:',
  960, 5<<4, 3, 9, '\xB0\x07\x40', 1, 'b', 0, 4, 't', -0.5,
  960, 0, 3, 0, '\xB0\x07\x20',
  960*6, 0, 3, 0, '\xB0\x7B\x00')

The locked bezier type is for REAPER's internal use. After certain types of edits, the bezier shape calculation is slightly different. It's included in the API just for completeness.

  960*6, 0, 3, 0, '\xB0\x7B\x00')
Would it not be faster and more elegant to format each event as "i4Bs4s4", with msg and extramsg as two separate s4?

If I understand the new format correctly, a script would have to check the lengths, then read the msg in a separate with msg:sub(). Similarly, packing can't be done in a single step unless the lengths were hard-coded beforehand, and will take longer to execute.

I'm curious why the new flags are strange text codes instead of just bits? I hope this is preparation for storing notation text inside note-on events!

(BTW, while you are working on these API functions, please take a look at the suggestions in the MIDI CC envelope discussion thread.)

We're going to redo the way these bezier parameters are encoded, stay tuned (and don't use the current system!)
