Re: [LAD] More proposed LV2 addition/extension stuff

Steve Harris wrote: While you're adding stuff to lv2core, you might as well consider adding some of those (+/- any discussions that arise and probably rewrite in proper English), or perhaps I should move some of them into separate extension(s): :trigger a :PortProperty ; rdfs:label "Trigger" ; rdfs:comment """ Indicates that the data item should be considered a Boolean value corresponding to the specific event that was detected (control output ports) or is to be triggered (control input ports).

A plugin that specifies it as optional feature can omit value clamping for :hasStrictBounds ports, if the feature is supported by the host.

These probably belong somewhere else, but I'll post them anyway: :expensive a :PortProperty ; rdfs:label "Changes trigger expensive calculation" ; rdfs:comment """ Input ports only. Indicates that any changes to the port value may trigger expensive background calculation (eg. regenerate some lookup tables in background thread). Any value changes may have not have immediate effect at all, or may cause silence or diminished-quality version of the output data to be produced until background processing is finished. Ports having that property are typically not well suited for connection to outputs of other plugins, and should not be offered as connection targets or for automation by default. """ . :causesArtifacts a :PortProperty ; rdfs:label "May cause audio artifacts when changed" ; rdfs:comment """ Input ports only.

Connecting ports of this type to continuous signals is not recommended, and when presenting a list of automation targets, those ports may be marked as artifact-producing. """ . :continuousCV a :PortProperty ; rdfs:label "Carries a smooth modulation signal" ; rdfs:comment """ Indicates that the port carries a "smooth" modulation signal. Control input ports of this type are well-suited for being connected to sources of smooth signals (knobs with smoothing, modulation rate oscillators, output ports with continuousCV type etc).
