I've found myself consistently right clicking in the notation editor only to find nothing interesting there. Upon investigating how this all works, I see that there are (at least?) three context menus which depend on which tool is active, one of arrow (select mode?), eraser, or some note or rest duration (insert mode.)
I didn't actually notice that the context menus in insert mode and in erase mode had useful things on them before today. Evidently, I always right click when in selection mode, and find nothing there but the choice to switch to one of the other tools. I've now got the option to collapse rests on this menu (action collapse_rests_aggressively) as a proof of concept that I can stuff all the right bits in here without having to do anything terribly complicated, and this means I might actually sit down and do something really useful for once. Now I'm sitting here wondering just what it is that I keep wishing would be on this menu. I recently submitted an RFE for the entire Ajust menu on here, but I think that would be too much. I'm thinking of something laid out a bit like this... Insert Tool context menu (note or rest duration tool selected): This seems about right, and looks useful for improving workflow. I'd almost like to see a duration chooser here, but it seems a bit iffy since it's probably one menu that would have to do tricky things to figure out whether it's inserting notes, rests or dotted notes; and I should just learn the duration keyboard shortcuts anyway. So I'm thinking to leave this alone, unless anyone has other suggestions. Erase Tool context menu (eraser selected): This seems about right too, now that I've finally noticed it, but I'm open to suggestions. Select Tool context menu (arrow selected): This is where the SURVEY: bit comes in. I'd like feedback. I'm thinking the most useful things to put here would be Stem Direction Rests Notes Visibility with all the options at the top level, instead of buried one layer down. Anything I should omit from this in the interest of simplicity? Anything I should add? What about the other two menus? I'm not talking about anything new here, just adding existing actions to existing menu(s) in the interest of keeping the most useful things closer at hand, and minimizing mouse travel. Especially useful things that don't already have keyboard shortcuts, but even some that do (for the people like me who never remember any but a couple of the most often-used shortcuts.) -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
