Hi i have some questions about some stuff which could be changed, but doesn't need to: 1. should i use the "proper" quantisation functions instead of flo_quantize() and flo_quantize_floor()? if so, which are they? and are there such functions which accept a used-definable quant. strength at all? 2. should i let the user set up SPLIT_NOTE (this is the first MIDI note displayed in the treble clef in a grand staff. all MIDI notes below get in the bass clef)? or is 60 (the C the treble and bass clef have in common) a good choice? 3. should i let the user decide about the clef newly opened staves use ("grand staff", "treble" or "bass")? or is "grand staff" a good choice? if the user isn't content, he can right-click onto the staff and change the clef greetings flo |

For automatic separation C4 is the most convenient point, right in the middle of the treble and the bass clefs. But this should be only used for automated combination of several parts in one single grand staff. > should i let the user decide about the clef newly opened staves use ("grand > staff", "treble" or "bass")? or is "grand staff" a good choice? if the user > isn't content, he can right-click onto the staff and change the clef Absolutely. Except for piano, harp, organ or a combination of several parts, a grand staff is mostly a waste of space, especially if you support transposition. And for those instruments I would tend to create two separate tracks, one in bass clef and another in treble clef. In the end, FloSE (Flo's Score Editor), should eventually support clef changes as events within the part. It would be convenient to be able to edit the very first of these events in the track property editor. Luis |
