Paint straight line of notes - broken? (FIXED)

[zacki]

Hi.

I tried to paint MIDI notes with CTRL+ALT left drag. Measure was set to 3/4 and grid was set to full note. Notes are not painted on every beat (kind of random) Is someone able to confirm this?

Might wanna check what's happening in regular (rectangular) mode first. You probably don't need note length set to Grid, for starters... although I can't seem to replicate what you're showing here with the same settings...

I can confirm this behavior. (Using rectangular notes, 3/4 time sig, and grid = 1 or 2, REAPER v5.33)

One of the recent REAPER versions included an update in the snap-to-grid behavior when grid = 1 or longer, which is probably when this behavior sneaked in.

BTW, if I am not mistaken, grid=1 refers to one measure, not one whole note.

EDIT:
Perhaps try the latest v5.34 pre-release version:
v5.33: "+ MIDI: interpret grid lengths longer than the current measure length as a number of bars"
v5.34pre7: "+ MIDI editor: fix quantize when grid is a full measure or greater"

EDIT 2:
I quickly tested the new v5.34rc, and this has not been fixed.

Yeah, it refers to the whole measure (see rectangle drawing mode, it doesn't draw 4 beats, it draws 3, when timesig is 3/4).


EDIT: I can confirm it, too. I was using the wrong modifier (paint notes, instead of paint a straight line of notes).

Thank you ED and Julian for checking this. What do you think, shall I post it in the Casa De Nitpicks or are the Devs aware of posts like this one?

[juliansader]

I have posted a short comment in the v5.34rc1 pre-release thread. If you want, we can perhaps move this entire thread to the Casa de Nitpicks or Bug Reports?

EDIT: Moved to bug reports.

EDIT 2: Fixed in v5.40!
