[seq24-users] New Mouse Interaction patch (similar to fruityloops pianoroll) (patch against: rev48 source code from bazaar + my win32 patch)

[Kevin M. <ke...@su...>]

Hello Everyone,

A patch to upgrade *roll.* and a few other files for an alternate mouse
interaction method.(selectable in options menu, in .seq24rc, and on command
line)

This patch and the new win32 binary are posted:
   http://www.subatomicglue.com/seq24/

You can patch your code starting at rev48 (from bazaar) + my previous win32
patch
   http://www.subatomicglue.com/seq24/rev48win32-add-mouseinteraction.patch

Documentation:

==============================================================
New Mouse Controls:
"Fruity Mode"  (like the fruityloops piano roll mouse interaction)
(selectable in options menu, in .seq24rc, and on command line)

Sequencer Roll:

Pencil (draw) or Selection (context sensitive)
 - Left click on empty space
   adds a note

 - Left click on note
   toggles note selection
 - Left click move from empty space
   draw many notes while moving ptr
 - Left click move on a note
   moves/grows the selected note depending on where pointer is

Think of Ctrl like a selection modifier to default pencil ptr
 - Left Ctrl click on empty space
   deselect all selected notes

 - Left Ctrl click on note
   adds to selection
 - Left Ctrl click move in empty space
   starts selection box that only selects what's inside on button up
 - Left Ctrl click move on a note
   make a copy of the selection (does copy/paste of selected notes)

Think of Shift like an "add to selection" modifier
 - Left Ctrl Shift click on empty space
   nothing

 - Left Ctrl Shift click on note
   adds to selection
 - Left Ctrl Shift click move in empty space
   starts selection box that toggles selection on button up
 - Left Ctrl Shift click move on a note
   make a copy of the selection (does copy/paste of selected notes)

Think of Right Click like an eraser or easy selection...
Eraser
 - Right click on note
   deletes note...  if you drag the mouse around it will delete other notes too.
 - Right+Ctrl click on note
   delete all selected notes at once time including under the cursor

Selection:
 - Right click on empty space
   deselect all notes
 - Right+Ctrl click on empty space
   nothing
 - Right click move from empty space
   starts selection box that sets selection only to the notes inside it
 - Right+Ctrl click move from empty space
   starts selection box that toggles selection on notes inside it


Song Editor Window:
 - is kinda similar to the SequencerRoll mouse buttons, though more limited
   due to how the editor works...   you'll figure it out. :)


Also added:
 - Ctrl A :  select All
 - Space bar starts/stops the main window's playback...
