Insert time signature without tempo (FIXED)

[daeavelwyn]

Hello,

After half an hour searching for this, I finally post here. So, I'm trying to use differnts time signatures for one of my song.

for example, the verse is : 6/8 + 6/8 + 4/8 + 4/8

If I copy/paste REAPER set a tempo marker at the end, but I don't want this because if I have to change the tempo, I will have to do it to every tempo markes !

here is a link to a gif illustrating the problem : https://imgur.com/a/pZZtdcc

Ho can I avoid to have the tempo set and just get the time signature ?

When you add timesig markers, make sure that Set tempo checkbox is disabled...

Hi EvilDragon

Thanks for your reply but I already know that, and I've been carefull about this.

But the problem is if there only are time signatures, reaper shouldn't copy/paste tempo markers (as they don't exist!), but only time signatures.

But, if you look at my gif file, you can see it creates a tempo marker (from the last tempo marker it found on my ruler it seems), but it shouldn't do that.

So,
-either i'm wrong with something,
-or reaper creates this for reason I can't understand but dev probably can
-or it's an issue.

I'm still struggling with that to get a solution, but I thing I will forget this and then use the "SWS/BR: Select and adjust tempo markers..." if I need to change tempo...

BTW if someone has an idea

I think that's built in and I have no problem with it. If it's the last previous tempo it doesn't have any affect or change anything.

You can still use it to change the tempo if you wish to.

EDIT: I will add though, if there are a lot of tempo markers and changes, it does have a tendency to get messy.

Yeah Tod, there are lots of time signature changes but nevermind, I succeed in using SWS to change tempo if needed (default set to 100, and i've tried 90 and 80 to finally use 90 )

I actually can't reproduce this behavior. Does it depend on certain tempo settings before or after this section on the timeline?

[daeavelwyn]

@schwa : Have you the "ruler: display tempo change" enabled ?

BTW : Here is another gif where I can reproduce every time : https://imgur.com/a/A8ZAR1G

Step to reproduce :
-Create a new project
-Create tempo time signature uncheking tempo markers
-copy/paste time signature (as shown in gif)
-tempo markers is automatically added

Expected :
Copy/paste should only copy/paste time signature as tempo marker is unchecked in the tempo window

@schwa : Do you need more informations about this ? What do you mean by "certain tempo settings before or after this section on the timeline? " Not sure i've well understood sorry :-/

[schwa]

Unfortunately, I remain unable to reproduce this issue! Do you have any scripts or extensions installed? Anybody else reading this thread, if you're able to reproduce the problem, or not, that would be helpful information.

[daeavelwyn]

@schwa: You are perfectly right, I made a fresh reaper install removing my preferences folder and it works....I will investigate futher and post here if I finaly find the culprit

[schwa]

Can you post, or email to support at cockos, your reaper.ini file please?

[daeavelwyn]

Done ! Thanks for your help

[schwa]

Aha! I believe the cause is this preference. There's no reason for this behavior to apply when editing the tempo envelope, so we'll fix that.

Glad to read this thks !
