Re: [Rosegarden-user] Setup Automatic Pitch Bend?

[Insidious B. <ins...@gm...>]

I am aware of the range of the pitchbend, All my bends are within 200
cents. By 10 arbitrary settings, do you mean individual notes? If so, the
usefulness would soon break down as I deal with tunings such as 31 edo,
which has 31 tones per octave. When you say "place" pitchbends, is there an
automatic way to have all notes come with a pitchbend by default, or will I
just be inserting them (which I already do)?

I am still very happy with how I now know that Rosegarden CAN do this task.
A year ago I thought only things like Sibelius could do it and from what I
hear, it is not any easier to set pitch bend there either. It ends up being
a calculated, by-hand type of thing. Thanks.
