I strongly agree. I have been getting very frustrated by the mysteriously broken MIDI events in the matrix editor for some time. I personally don't use the notation editor. So I hadn't realized that this behavior was deliberate, and was planning to report it as a bug. Because of this, it usually takes me on the order of an hour or so to fix up each note in the matrix editor, after playing something new of a just few minutes duration, on the keyboard, and this is really really tedious. If this feature is truly something that is useful for notation users, then a compromize would be to make this behavior optional. A tool for merging all such notes, post-facto, would also be useful. Note that another useful option would be a way to snap not only the start times of notes to the grid, as one currently can, but also the end times. What I most frequently do with Rosegarden, is compose something live on a MIDI keyboard, then in the notation editor use the snap-to-grid tool to fix up the start times of all of the notes that I entered, to whatever granularity makes sense, then go through each of the notes, deleting all the extra trailing parts of the notes that rosegarden split, then go through each note again, extending it to the right duration. This takes a lot of time. Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
