looks like i've lost midi note/velocity outlines that i established by editing midi_note_colormap.png on April 22 of last year. i definitely rely on the outlines in 0506 so i'm looking to adjust whatever i need to adjust. (i use color notes by track)

0506: note how clearly the selected notes stand out due to their outlines


0507: selected notes/velocity data is unclear. an outline appears, but it's only a shade darker than the note/vel color

Bug ?

Double click (insert event CC) doesn't work with inactive MIDI item.

mccrabney, your 507 is pretty strange. My version looks like this (selected dots are white) and I love it (clear and nice) :

looks like you're not using track colors for your notes.

i remember this dance from more a year ago. that's why i wonder if it's something i can fix on my end again https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=1981785

for other, non-active project midi, the transparency looks better in 0506.

maybe we need to readjust the number in preferences for opacity for secondary items? I've noticed we need to reopen MIDI editor window in order to reflect changes in this opacity value.

I don't think it is a bug if the item is inactive. It's a feature. Unlock the item in the media item lane first. Maybe you have to activate "Selection is linked to editability" in preferences. this way when you open multiple items at once, all are editable.

gag. it's definitely a bug if we're to believe that "Secondary items are editable"

Then why is there the lock button to make it editable or not?

I think it's just wording confusion.
To name it editable instead of inactive (which here means not the active item which there can only be one, but editable I assume?) imo makes it more clear, as that's the 'official' Reaper term afaik.

I think you are wrong. Inside an inactive MIDI item, I can create CC with the drag mouse but not with the double click. "Make secondary items editable by default" and "Selection is linked to editability" are activated.

It's never been supported to insert notes or CC events on any media item except the currently active item. (There's always exactly one active item.) If the preference is enabled, you can draw CC events on editable-but-inactive items. Admittedly this is somewhat arbitrary, but for the sake of this discussion, I don't think any behavior has changed.

that difference in behavior is deeply unfortunate.

I really feel that those lollipops are way too tiny... I mean it's already somewhat annoying to select the head with 24" full HD... what it's going to be like with anything denser? :/

Adjustable size or few different size options would be a god send honestly.

Agreed, thought the same today, when editing velocities.

I am not sure about the gradient in the stick part of the lollipop... Makes me feel that the circle of the lollipop is going to fall and one idea... What if the circle would be shown only for selected lollipops? This would make selected ones more obvious and clean.

can anyone speak on why i lost the black notes/cc outlines in 0507 as per post 2 of this thread? (color by track mode)

all other "color by" modes (except media item, which gets its color from track) have the black outline that i need to be able to see which notes are indeed selected

I think this is a very good idea.

What if there would be no gradient in the first place?

I still think that all nodes (velocities, CCs and the rest of events included) should highlight with the same color as notes/velocity sticks in the default map :

dev0505 :





dev0507 :








And now compare with 0 values. Velocities in dev0505 (as clear as it can be to my eyes) :





Dev0507 with 0 values (not so much) :







Anyway, I admit that it´s already usable as it is now, and we have to thank you devs, for the continous improvements. Nevertheless, as Commala, Icchan, other users and myself have stated on other posts/threads, adjustable options for all these elements (unselected/selected events in the ME) would be the ice on the cake.

I have that sensation when using specifically Gofer´s themes (one of them, particularly). Even in this screenshot from Nofish I have that impression... The stick seems rather blurred to me, contrary to what a selected event would suggest me. Of course, this could be a matter of preferences, I admit...

While I have no clue, that seems intriguing to me, too
