I totally agree with the goal of improving the default playback. I think that would be a great improvement. And I predict that once you work through the design, you'll end up with something very similar to what I proposed. :) For example, the assumption that dynamics=velocity clearly needs to ch

I'm not sure what you're saying here. I agree having chords with partial ties is normally not what one wants. And that's precisely why I was saying I was uncomfortable with making the tie command a toggle, as that would make it harder to correct the situations where this happens currently. Right no

Michael - obviously I don't know the specifics of what you have in mind, but I *can* say that this is indeed the sort of thing I mean when I say if there is to be a grand re-design, it should give thought to how it could fit within the current model of an internal syntehsizer playng a soundfont we

Ok. So I read several time about Igevorse's work on MidiAction dialogue but I don't think there is any work to merge currently. There are no open PR for it https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+igevorse+ So I think nothing has been done. Did I miss something? In any

Just a note from the sound design aspect of this. In order to implement what Peter is trying to do for everyone the default soundfont would have to be modified extensively in order to have the multi-velocity splits and other bells and whistles available to be acted on. With Igevorse's work on Mid

Hi, Is there someone who's in charge? Who are the core developers? How do decisions get made? David Bolton's post sums up the situation very well. Werner is still the one writing most of the code. I'm merging most of the pull requests. In general, there are not many decisions to be made becaus

recaculate note lengths after a copy paste Yes. I want this function too. Do we have a formal feature request for it in the issue tracker? 99% of times you only need two consecutive notes tied over. I agree too. I think it's too easy currently to tie two non consecutive notes. In my view, it sho
