Greetings from Finland, I am about to finish the Finnish translation and there is one quite important question concerning which I would hope to receive some guidance. In schools we use the German notename system in which notename 'b' is 'h' (for the other exceptions check the bottom of the message). Translating the notenames to this system does not seem to work fully: For example Id tone config window shows 'h' but even in the same exercise the Practise window always uses 'b'.
Most people I've played with speak about 'b' instead of 'h' so this would not be such a major problem for most rockers but since I have found Solfege potentially promising tool for the children beginning classical training at the conservatory, I would be prone to think that the more traditionally oriented teachers would greet the software and use it with even more enthusiasm if there was no notename mismatch between the software and their books. Thus getting the German system work would be recommended. The best possible solution would be that the user could set the notename system from the Preferences. I'm not totally new to Poedit, but while translating Solfege it seems not to have compiled the .mo -files correctly - some translations that are there on the .po-file need to be cleared and copy-pasted again to the same place (and saved immediately) to make them work in the .mo-file. Anyhow, this does not seem to be the problem with notenames since I've tried the same correction that works with other lines of translations several times and the conclusion is: other lines work when re-entered, notename lines work only partly (as mentioned in Id tone example). So... any help/guidelines would be much appreciated. If most people just want to kick out the German system for good I will accommodate with the opinion and go on with my life (slightly bitter though ;) but it is a point to consider first. Kind regards, Tuomas -------------------------- B-note in German system Basic form: 'h' instead of 'b' augmented h: his diminished h: b doubly-augmented h: hisis doubly-diminished h: bb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
