That sounds simple. I'll keep it in mind when I get there. > I remember the last time I fooled around importing old > MIDI files, I had a lot of problems, to the point where I had to look at > the file in something else to figure out what programs I should set up, > and then I had to set all of that up manually in Rosegarden. Sure. This sounds like the program changes in the MIDI file weren't at time zero. The code now assumes that if the PC doesn't happen at time zero that it has to leave it alone and preserve the timing of the original file. The manual "fix" would be to dig through the events in the event editor, delete the BS/PC there and enter it into the MIPP. It's not easy. (Perhaps we could handle the case of a BS/PC before any other events on a track? Can't remember if I considered that and decided against it. It does change what the MIDI file is asking for.) And if there are multiple BS/PCs on a track, all bets are off. A track will be set for piano in the MIPP and start playing violin at some point. This is what drove the new behavior. Will was having trouble importing MIDI files filled with BS/PC's on each track with the old code. Now it preserves the BS/PCs throughout a track (it used to mangle them) and sets the MIPP for what it finds at time zero. > You probably plugged a hole > that used to make things work by accident or something.
