Tim:
That sounds like a useful feature - particularly if you're editing using
the notation editor.
It would be nice to have the same capability in the matrix editor.
Maybe you already do, but I don't know how to use it.
I haven't tried to do it using the notation editor.
To do this sort of thing, I have been doing over-dub recording using the
expression control. With that method, I can listen to it as I record
it, and even play it back multiple times, and if I don't like it, I undo
the record. If I like it, I save it.
I'm not sure, but I think that percussion instruments may not respond to
the expression control, and (I think) velocity is all you have for
affecting percussion tracks. Being a new-age & classical genre person,
I don't use percussion tracks very often, so my opinions on them don't
carry much weight.

Hi folks,
Things seem a little slow at the moment, so I thought I would toss this
out there and see what happens.

==========================================================================
Crescendos and Decrescendos Using Expression-Controller Events
Crescendos and decrescendos over multiple notes can usually be
approximated by ramping the note velocities, but doing this over a single
note or part of a single note requires a different approach.
In the past I have resorted to calculating the position and magnitude of
individual volume- or expression-controller events and inserting them
manually, either with the event editor or by hacking the XML file
directly. However, doing this a few times was enough to convince me
something better was needed. The method presented here can define ramps
of expression-controller events easily and with precision. I've been
using something like it for a couple of years now and think perhaps it's
time to see if this feature would be good for the project in general.
The code changes, consisting of four new files and a patch, are in the
tarball attached to this post. Also attached is a "DontReadMe" file
containing instructions for using the newly installed feature.
The expression-ramp feature is currently accessible only through the
"Controllers" menu of the Notation Editor. I have tried to keep it
compatible with the look and feel of the rest of Rosegarden, but I have
not integrated it too tightly with the existing controller/ruler
arrangement, as I did not want to step on the work anyone else might be
doing in that area.
