Unlikely, unfortunately. Sorry :-( However, there is a useful tick-box: Edit -> Settings -> lightning-bolt -> Enable auto-save feature - so if LMMS crashes, then next time it opens you will have a recovered copy of your track to save immediately :-) On 26 June 2016 at 22:09, Benton Warner wrote:

So, sound on Linux ... continues to suck. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with the default Pulseaudio. Every now and then, running LMMS, the sound goes funny and turns into nothing but noise. (LMMS also plays faster when this happens!) The only fix is "pulseaudio --kil" and restart LMMS. I've tried JACK

So (with Vesa's assistance) I got a bassline editor track to do precisely what I wanted, a continuous glide in pitch using automation on just that track. This is excellent! The trouble is I wanted a three-semitone drop (300 cents), and LMMS refuses to do more than 100. Even if I edit the .mmp file

At some point, the word "bassloops" got misspelt as "bassloopes". So now the samples directory tree, from my completely fresh pull just now, has the misspelt name "bassloopes" in it. git grep doesn't show it (it's filepath build/data/samples/bassloopes), so I'm not sure when this happened ... - d
