HI Slau and John,
Thanks so much for those suggestions.
Interacting and selecting with vo+space seems to work relyably to edit a
value.
However, the synchronizing vo cursor with the current counter doesn't
seem to work.
If I'm on the first note at bar 1, and if I move the counter using down
arrow or other methods, the vo cursor is still at the first note on bar
1 even after I stop interact and start interact again with the table.
Am I missing a step?
I'm on Mavericks with pt 11.3 if it makes difference.
Thanks,
Chi

Hi Chi,
The MIDI Event List is a little tricky but especially because VoiceOver has a
tendency to see what's not really there and not see what's really there, if you
know what I mean.
Let's say you've clicked on a MIDI event. The event will become highlighted
and, if it's a note, you should hear it. Pressing the arrow down does move the
selection to the adjacent notes. Now, let's say you entered a main counter
value of bar 77. What happens is that the main counter will jump to bar 77 but
VoiceOver is still seeing the original location. What you need to do is stop
interacting with the event list and reinteract with it and VoiceOver will read
the correct information.
With a control surface, you can scrub and select notes and it's a quick process
but moving around the list itself can sometimes be tedious.
When you do find the parameter you wish to edit, as John said, interact with
the text and press Control-Option-Space bar. The contents will be selected and
you can enter the new value. You should be aware of the following behavior:
After entering a new value, pressing Return will confirm the new value and the
entire row of parameters becomes selected. If you don't press Return, you can
use the left or right arrow keys to move to different parameters but VoiceOver
doesn't seem to speak those values unless you move the voiceOver cursor. I
haven't played around with this aspect terribly much but that's what seems to
be the case.
Hope that helps,
Slau

Hi All,
What's the best way to go through midi event list?
There are couple of things that make it little difficult to navigate the table,
and I'm not sure if there's workarounds for these problems.
1. Synchronizing the current event and the Voiceover cursor
When you fast forward and rewind, the Voiceover cursor doesn't get synchronized
with the playback cursor.
Let's say your voiceover cursor is on the first note. When you hit play and
stop few bars later, your voiceover cursor is still on the first note.
Only workaround I found is to select a note, and press down arrow until I find
somewhere closer to the spot I want. If you do this, You'll hear the notes as
you holding down the down arrow. Then you can open item chooser, search for the
word select, and click on the first item.
This works nicely, but you can only find a spot using down arrow, and you first
have to select a note if you want to hear as you go down. Also this means you
have to start searching from wherever your Voiceover cursor is.
2. Editing
Can you only open the edit fields with vo+shift+space? Simulating mouse click
with Voiceover can be pretty flaky sometimes.
According to a sited person, The mouse cursor sometimes stays at the top left
corner and opens menu bar if you simulate mouse click with Voiceover For some
reason. This happens if you set mouse cursor to follow voiceover and turned the
cursor tracking on. Also, routing mouse cursor to Voiceover cursor by pressing
vo+cmd+f5 doesn't fix either. The mouse cursor just stays on the top left.
I'd appreciate if someone could share how to deal with those issues.
Thank you for your help,
Chi
