Hrm. I don't have any of that, because I didn't install last time. It seems to be on by default. I've compared an older installed build against the one in RGBuild, and this behavior has changed. > Should we make this the default behaviour? If it isn't already (as it arguably seems to be here), then yes, I think so. This is much better. I think one voice at a time myself, and almost never do chords in the same part, so I wouldn't have noticed how lame this used to be. Even playing a chord outright, putting the two notes as close together in time as is humanly possible, it used to draw them out one by one, instead of doing a chord. That's pretty lame. With the new thing, I can do a chord one note at a time, so long as I hold the last one, so it lets me hunt with unfamiliar fingers for the right key. I have no problem avoiding chords by playing things a bit more sharply separated than normal. Since this is step recording, the length of time the key is down is irrelevant anyway. This feels about right to me. Step recording is for people like me who can't play the keyboard very well, and this slow motion chord entry seems entirely reasonable. I've only had the quickest piddle with this, but my impression is to make this new thing the only behavior, and avoid having yet another option somewhere. We've got too damn many options for this and that where we were too wishy-washy about imposing some change or other in behavior. This does not seem to be a case that suggests a need for yet another example of that. Bearing in mind, of course, I didn't just spend an hour really running it through its paces or anything. I just got a quick impression of before and after, and I do like after better, based on this quick impression. -- D.
