Ah, sorry for the noise, again. I'm an email dinosaur.
When I last tried metadata several months ago I didn't seem
to get any default pretty names. I was really worried...
So I just now built jack-1 and yes, pretty names are there in QJackCtl.
Tres cool !
Just to be clear, is it Jack which sets these default pretty strings?
Awesome, thanks Paul.
PS: Have you done anything with metadata tempo maps, in say Ardour?
Tim.
