[jazzplusplus-devel] many pianowin

[joakim v. <jo...@ve...>]

Hello,

I was playing with "hydrogen"(the drum sequencer) and thought that it 
would be nice
to allow a similar work model in jazzpp.

a drum sequncer normally has pattern mode and song mode.

The trackwin of jazz isnt really a song mode, but something else derived 
from
a multitrack recorder analogy.

If we wanted a song mode in jazz, it would be more like a new pianowin 
that could play
other tracks as patterns. Another pianowin can be used as a pattern editor.

Ok, that was pretty unclear so I'll try to be more concise:

- a drum machine song mode is a view of which patterns to play.
In jazz this is a pianowin thich shows "play track events".
I implemented this for jazz some time ago.

- a drum machine pattern view is in jazz a pianowin showing the details of
the track used with track play events.

To make this convenient/useful/fun you need a bit more work.

You also need it to be possible to open more pianowins than 1!
I did an experiment and checked it in.

There is now a "pianowin2" button that will open more pianowins.
