Hello everyone and happy new year!
My name is Daniel Darias, I'm computer science student from Spain. I've
been playing around with Ardour since a couple of months ago and now I
decided to test lmms. I don't think I need to state that the program is
truly powerful, and I want to thank you all for creating this. However,
I think there are some usability issues which I could try to fix.
Playing around in the 'Song Editor', I haven't mannaged to find a
propper way to split a "Instrument track block", something like a razor
tool that allows you to subdivide the block instead of making copies
and reducing each one it manually in the piano roll.
I checked the documentation and haven't found a propper way to do this.
Also checked the github issues and found some references to this
problem so I assummed the program lacks this functionlity. So my
intention is to fix this creating something like a new `EditMode` in
the `SongEditor` which allows you to cut the block, possibly snaping
the cursor to the grid. If this issue doesn't exist at all I would also
like to contribute fixing something with similar complexity.
I already downloaded the sources, set up the development environment
with Qtcreator and started to read the code. Also I checked your wiki
on github. I am experienced in both Qt and C++ so I have some
confidence I can accomplish this task. However, this is the first time
I decided to contribute to a FOSS project, first time on a mailing list
and this is not my main language, so I ask you for some guidance to
follow the correct process for this. I assume the next step is to
create an issue on github with the info above and identify the relevant
files and structures I need to modify.
Best regards
Daniel
