I've got one verse and one chorus of my song beautifully orchestrated and polished. It sounds *fantastic*. Now I want three verses and a middle-eight (derived from the verse) and some repeated choruses on the end. Is there a way to copy and paste an entire set of bars, easily? (Ways that spring to mind include putting it all into the bassline editor - though it already contains a couple of basslines, and also I want to be able to tweak each verse individually - or to cut'n'paste each instrument, one at a time, in the piano roll editor. I really don't want to do massive intricate cut'n'pastes in the piano roll editor, particularly given that it has no working undo that I can find.) btw - I'm using 0.4.5, as included in Ubuntu Maverick. (Not the latest, I may try compiling from source if absolutely necessary. I tried 0.4.8 for Windows using Wine, but the sound production is decidedly patchy done that way. Also, I'm doing all this on a rather CPU-anaemic Dell Mini 9. It's all fun though!) - d. |

I No need to compile it on your own. Add my PPA: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tobydox/lmms/ubuntu lucid main and you'll be able to easily install / upgrade to 0.4.8. Updating to 0.4.8 is really recommended as a lots of bugs and crashes have been fixed since 0.4.5. Toby |

Thank you :-) >> btw - I'm using 0.4.5, as included in Ubuntu Maverick. (Not the >> latest, I may try compiling from source if absolutely necessary. I > No need to compile it on your own. Add my PPA: > deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tobydox/lmms/ubuntu lucid main Adding the Lucid ppa seems to work on Maverick (10.10), but it doesn't like the Maverick version of libjack ... good thing I wasn't using JACK. (I installed it for Rosegarden, but this netbook just isn't powerful enough to run Rosegarden happily.) When do you expect to have a Maverick version in the ppa? [I would *not* recommend anyone else try installing the Lucid lmms on Maverick, unless they habitually run Ubuntu betas and know how to fix a broken Debian/Ubuntu, or think "hey, I can just wipe and reinstall" is simple and casual ;-) ] - d. |
