In the interests of finding out how these things work, (not having played with them before) I worked out how to draw a line to change the volume. I also noticed the insert event which seems to insert an additional volume event and then inserted an additional line of volume as you can see I've created a very lovely colourful picture. but is it meant to be this way? Also (and this may be related to my cheap soundcard) nothing I do with the controllers seems to have any effect on the music.

Dear Shelagh, You wrote: > Also (and this may be related to my cheap soundcard) > nothing I do with > the controllers seems to have any effect on the music. > Yes, that is the case for some folks. It might be for you. Some hardware accepts these controller values and some do not. It may also be a setup/connection issue. We just had a big discussion about similar issues with another user on the user list. We verified with multiple methods that RG was indeed sending these controller events. So most likely, the lack of response is on your end--either a hardware issue, or a setup issue. I'm not qualified to help with either. I got my little sound thing running and am happy, but don't know enough to help other's troubleshoot. If you are interested, it might be worth investigating. But if you aren't using them, then I wouldn't worry about it. I wish I had a more helpful answer for you. Sincerely, Julie S. |

Julie, I am not really worried about the sound for myself as I suspected that it was my cheap setup. My real worry is the overlapping event bars in the picture for the volume. Is that supposed to happen? The sound issue is my problem if you like because I can't hear if there is a difference when I change the picture, I can't tell if the picture is reflecting the real sound of the music. And so I don't know if that is reflecting the real events in the music. I want to write some documentation on how to use these event rulers (along with the new velocity property ruler) and so began playing around with them to see how they work. Which reminds me, Hendrick if you are reading this, could the velocity property ruler be included in the event ruler menu? It seems to me that if it is in the same place in the notation and matrix windows it seems it should be in the same place in the menus. What do you think?

Dear Shelagh, Concerning your screen shot: I just drew multiple lines of controllers for the volume controller and got the same result as your screen shot. I tried this on an old RG 1.6.1. It was only thing immediately available. I have to admit the certainly looks odd--your screen shot and mine. When I closed that segment and reopened it, the event bars were no longer shown as in your screen shot, but were interleaved which made more visual sense. So, my answer is yes, what you see is correct, but misleading, since the left hand side of the bar for each event depicts the time the event occurs and it is in effect until another event is transmitted. Looking at your screen shot, since you have two overlapping lines of controllers, they are iterated from left to right using the left hand side of the bar as a guide. The visual is misleading though, since the width of the bar is not truly representing a duration. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Julie S. |

Let's not mess with menu level stuff right now, and instead save that kind of thing for after the Qt4 port is running. -- D. Michael McIntyre |
