  Thanks for tracking this down.  I will get it in there right now.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Add Control Ruler not working as expected in Matrix Editor and a few other questions

2020-07-22 Thread Hugo van Galen
I replaced the RG_DEBUG with RG_WARNING and now I do see messages :-)

I added some more messages, also around the test if "name" isn't equal to
"itemStr" -- and that reveals clearly what the problem is:

[MatrixWidget] addControlRuler() Mismatched name,  " Controller 7
(0x7)"  not equal to  "Volume Controller 7 (0x7)"

If I remember correctly from my QT coding days, anything with an "&"
(ampersand) before it is shown underlined to indicate the shortcut key in
the menu.

I looked into NotationWidget.cpp to see the following comment and code:

// FIX #1543: If name happens to come to us with an & included
somewhere,
// strip the & so the string will match the one we are comparing later
on.
//
name.replace(QRegExp("&"), "");

I can confirm that adding this code to the MatrixWidget.cpp's
addControlRuler() fixes the issue.

Should I report this as a separate bug, add a comment to bug #1543, or
assume that it will get fixed after a developer has read this message? :)

Best regards,
Hugo

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Add Control Ruler not working as expected in Matrix Editor and a few other questions

2020-07-21 Thread Hugo van Galen
Thanks for your response.

Regarding the controllers not appearing, I today took a look at the
relevant code. I've fetched the latest code from SVN and I have enabled the
RG_DEBUG lines in MatrixWidget::addControlRuler(). As I didn't see any of
those messages, it appears that this method isn't even called. That
explains why nothing seems to happen. I may try to trace this issue at a
later time.

I ran into another interesting bug when I restarted Rosegarden. See, one of
my MIDI outs goes to two different devices, so I had named it "FB-01 &
P-55". When I started Rosegarden to re-open that document, I got an parsing
error along the lines of "letter was expected at line X, column Y". I had
to gunzip the .rg file, modified the XML so it contained "" in stead
of "&", and gzipped it back up. After that, Rosegarden could successfully
load it again. (Phew -- I was afraid it somehow got corrupted and I lost my
song.) I shall submit a bug report for this one, I can imagine that being
really annoying.

Hugo

  I can't reproduce this.  But the code does look like it needs some 
review.  The issue will likely become apparent upon cleaning up and

It seems that any other controller except Velocity and Pitch bend only

  Those are handled separately, so it isn't surprising they are not

Is there an underlying logical reason for 
this to behave this way -- or is this a bug?


  Sounds like you've found a legitimate bug.  The key routines in 
question are:


MatrixWidget::addControlRuler()
NotationWidget::slotAddControlRuler()

  There are differences that need to be resolved between those two and 
that might clear up the issue.  I don't have time at the moment, but 
should be back to Rosegarden this weekend.  I will have a look then.

"view" options could be memorised, so when opening the same segment 
later, all zoom options, and controller rulers could be restored.)


  This is very likely an oversight.  I recommend opening a feature

  Not my area of expertise.  Somebody here can probably fill in the 
blanks, though.  Then we really should update the documentation based on

[Rosegarden-user] Add Control Ruler not working as expected in Matrix Editor and a few other questions

2020-06-29 Thread Hugo van Galen
I have been using Rosegarden for about a decade now and have been able to
figure it out using search engines. Lately I ran into an issue that I don't
remember having before: I noticed that, when in the Matrix Editor, the
option "View / Rulers / Add Control Ruler / Volume Controller" doesn't do
anything; yet when in the "Notation Editor" this works fine.

It seems that any other controller except Velocity and Pitch bend only work
in the Notation Editor. Is there an underlying logical reason for this to
behave this way -- or is this a bug?

Other questions:
- I also wonder whether it is already possible to "remember" the zoom
options for any given segment as I always find myself tweaking these, the
default zoom doesn't work for me here. Or am I overlooking something
obvious in the settings? (Ideally, it would be great if all "view" options
could be memorised, so when opening the same segment later, all zoom
options, and controller rulers could be restored.)

- I wonder how the Figuration functionality actually works (I perhaps
incorrectly understand this can be used for arpeggios). I discovered an
explanation on https://rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/doc:expand_figuration; but
following those instructions do not result in anything. I tried different
interpretations of those instructions, and it either does nothing at all,
or I just get a new segment without any contents. Any clarification would
be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Best regards,
Hugo
