Hello RG Team,
Just coming off the heels of the notation_toolbar_branch, I had much first hand
experience dealing with how the GUI is set up -- but did not look at the
implementation of it.
I think the global cursor a good idea, but the details are lacking.
A general thought:
* On playback, the cursor in should move smoothly in notation view, like it
does in classic. Specially with multiple staffs on a page, the playback
appears choppy and inconsistent.
Specific thought about user interaction:
* Since Matrix editor now shows multiple segments in one view just as notation
editor does, we should have similar methods to navigating among the segments
(keystrokes, buttons, and mouse actions).
Two alternatives for cursor support in notation view
* Take the leave from matrix view and gray out the "non-active" staffs. Then
as the cursor up and down is moved, the active staff is restored to black.
This is probably not the best method.
* Create a Hybrid cursor, a dark colored cursor that spans the length of the
notation view. On that cursor is the "purple cursor" overlaid on top of the
dark cursor. This cursor will span the height of the active staff. So moving
from staff.
I like this idea better, and the purple cursor still has a life in Thorn, but
in a more intuitive form.
Well, those are my thoughts.
Let me know what you think.
Sincerely,
Julie S.
