[LMMS-devel] Rethink time signature: instead of one global time sig, have a time sig for each pattern

As a user I would LOVE this. I have transitions to differing time signatures and have had to plot it all out to being divisible into the song's main signature. This hampers writing for sure. On Tue, Mar 04, 2014 at 8:35 PM, Vesa wrote:Beware, long post ahead! I just want to thro

[LMMS-devel] Rethink time signature: instead of one global time sig, have a time sig for each pattern

Beware, long post ahead! I just want to throw this idea out there, raise some discussion maybe: Is the current implementation of time signature really purposeful? It doesn't allow the use of different time signatures in a song very conveniently: you basically have to find a time signature that "m

[LMMS-devel] The great bughunt

Ok, I'm not very good at motivational speeches but, if no one else is going to do it I guess I'll have to... So, we've set an ambitious goal to finally get 1.0.0. released in two weeks time. I've attempted to bring the milestones up to date and it seems that currently, we have 11 unresolved issues

I would be a fan of providing something like this on our downloads section. The way launchpad displays this (scrolling way down, clicking the triangle, clicking the version) sort of hides it away. Is anyone aware if launchpad has a way to embed this information onto our own page? If not, can we

With the bootstrap plugins I have found you build your theme for WordPress from the ground up. Another reason for wanting to use WordPress is that those that don't know how to code websites can help maintain it. On 4 Mar 2014 15:13, "Tres Finocchiaro" wrote: > > > On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 9:09 AM,

Very valid points. I like going the route of libreoffice and virtual box. Libre office provides an icon which opens a dialogue box saying hey here is a new version that can be downloaded and ass well provides a link to the download. Can one install multiple releases? I think as well the installer

Re: [LMMS-devel] Roadmap

The issue is that you need to download an installer each time. With an online mechanism one just says yes to update lmms it will auto download the installer to a temp location then removed after the updated installation is complete. On 4 Mar 2014 14:50, "Tres Finocchiaro" wrote: > We probably cou

We probably could release even more frequently especially if there is a critical bug. But what worries me is we have no online type of update mechanism. On 4 Mar 2014 13:28, "Tobias Doerffel" wrote: > That is if you follow the development / stable branches principle. I > think we decided to not f

Re: [LMMS-devel] Roadmap

That is if you follow the development / stable branches principle. I think we decided to not follow it and instead push out releases as often as possible. Even though we didn't manage it so far (probably because "1.0.0" is just something so important that we don't want to rush too much) I'm confide

Re: [LMMS-devel] Roadmap

Ok I had a feeling I had a missing part of the puzzle, but here is some food for thought and the way Libreoffice operates. They create a new branch in our case 1.0.0. Then from there everything that is currently being set for 1.1.0 would be included in 1.0.1 up to 4 or 5 then the version number g

Re: [LMMS-devel] Webpage Mock-Up

Tres I am a bit confused here. Are you saying we should avoid wordpress, or use wordpress? You do know you can embed the php directly into a page or integrate it into ones theme. I am using a bootstrap framework which you code a wordpress theme entirely from scratch. On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 1:4
