Hi guys,<br>
I'm using rosegarden 1.7.3 (=latest release)<br>
<br>
I think this is the best tool to do midi editing for drums on Linux<br>
(please tell me if I'm wrong), but it does do some weird things which<br>
get on my nerves:<br>
<br>
- inability to properly select (groups of) notes: frequently it selects<br>
notes I didn't click, or it selects a group when I just want one<br>
note, etc<br></blockquote><div>I don't see this behaviour with a proper zoom. BTW, a good trick is Shift + click in the piano roll (say C1):<br>All the C1 notes will be selected.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
- inability to properly insert notes: when i insert 1 1/32 note, and<br>
then want to do one next to it, it removes the one i just insert<br>
(even with quantize set to 1/32)<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Again an improper zoom level? Anyway, what editor do you use? The percussion matrix editor I guess? I like more the matrix editor even for drums. I think it responds better with low zoom levels. <br>
</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
- copy paste behavior: when pasting, it pastes the notes at the<br>
beginning of the song (is this pebcak?)<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Yes, you can move forwards and backwards the edit cursor with the right and left arrows.<br>Notes will be pasted at this point. <br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
- when zooming in/out, the song jumps back to the beginning, even if<br>
the 'time pointer' is somewhere else.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>The zoom focus point is the edit cursor.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
i could mention some more things, it only takes me a couple of minutes<br>
to start hitting time-wasting oddities.<br>
<br>
<br>
anyone had similar issues? can it be solved? is there something better<br>
then rosegarden?</blockquote><div>I love hydrogen to edit drums. You can use 'klick -T -f /path/to/tempomap' (klick as master jack and reading a tempo map in text mode, check klick) and choose Jack Transport in hydrogen if you don't want a fixed tempo. <br>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> i tried openoctave midi but found it to be even more<br>
buggy then rosegarden (doesn't even render correctly)<br>

thanks for your help<br>
