Thanks. This is super-helpful and I managed to reproduce the
problem. I'm moving this discussion to feature request 298 as that
appears to be the change that introduced this.
https://sourceforge.net/p/rosegarden/feature-requests/298/
I responded in the feature request, but also re-posting my comments to
the user mailing list as maybe it could be interesting to have other
thoughts here.
After reading and testing a bit more, I see how this feature could be
useful but I think it should be slightly modified from the current
implementation in the following ways.
- The yellow 'lane' should only show if the modifier key (e.g. ALT) is
pressed (i.e. unless users really wants this mode do not show it, as it
can clutter a bit the visualisation)
- Behaviour of CTRL modifier (clone / copy note) should not be
disrupted, would it be possible to have ALT + CTRL to have a constrained
clone?
- The constraint should strictly only happen if the modifier (ALT) is
pressed and in that case it should be enforced wither horizontally or
vertically based on the initial movement. This should be really tested
extensively because it depends on many factors including: zoom levels
(both horizontal and vertical), number of selected notes, type of mouse
and mouse settings (speed etc.), user's mouse 'motor skills' (also
depending on the type of hardware: mouse, trackpad, ball, etc.)
- Possibility to have two different modifiers for pitch and time
constraint, for example ALT for blocking time (probably the most useful
as pitch also already has the indication on the piano roll?) and SHIFT
for blocking pitch (with the caveat that SHITF is also used to override
the grid in draw mode)
- Consider to have this set as a switch directly in the matrix editor
and not as a general preference as it may be quite context-dependent
based on the type of editing / composing being carried out in a certain
moment (there's plenty of space
My two cents
Lorenzo
