[Linuxsampler-devel] SFZ parse patch

[Sergey <tg...@bi...>]

Hi!

I've just implemented a trivial SFZ parser patch to allow composite SFZ 
files. The rationale behind it is that after converting musical 
instrument from KONTAKT format I often have multiple SFZ files (main 
instrument, pedal up-down sounds, release sounds, etc). Loading each SFZ 
in a dedicated channel sometimes break things (release layer not playing 
most notable). So there was a need to assemble layers back into one long 
SFZ.

With a patch, everything is simplified to the following:
=== master.sfz ===
.include key-up-layer.sfz
.include key-down-layer.sfz
.include pedal-up-down.sfz
.include release-layer.sfz
=== end of master.sfz==

The patch is really trivial - most of the File(...) constructor body 
moved out to separate method parseFile(...) which is called recursively 
on encounter of ".include" if the beginning of a file line.

Do you think it is useful to have this functionality in a trunk of 
linuxsampler, or I'd better keep that as a local patch ?
