I don't know what it means. Which suggests that perhaps "MIDI pitch to string offset" is not a very helpful name for it -- I even have the advantage of already knowing what a "string" is. >>should be document specific. > > Well I don't think any of these should be Double-click definitely shouldn't be. I'm not particularly happy about the "Document Properties" entry and location in the Edit menu either. Apart from the fact that it should have a verb at the start and (probably, depending on the verb, but definitely if the verb was "set") a "..." at the end, the Edit menu is getting quite untidy, pulling in quite a few different sorts of operations. I'm inclined to think either it should go in the File menu (I never got a reply on that suggestion I think?) or else we need another quite separate menu in which operations like Add Tempo Change can go on each of the views. The main window is a funny one altogether, really -- it has seven menus of which two are standard ones (File and Help) that currently contain only the standard items, three are basically useless apart from the "Add Tracks..." option, and the other (namely Edit) has everything useful on it. This didn't bother me so much until I switched to KDE3, with its nasty squished-up menus that are so much more difficult to follow than the KDE2 ones. (Okay, I'm tired, I'm ranting pointlessly, I know.) Chris |
