Ah. Well, a combo box is a combo of an editable text field and a menu, and a combo box that you can't edit is a menu. Surely? > > note, or the mean velocity of the selected group.

I was worried it would make it too easy to do by accident, especially as there's (still) no visual feedback of changes in velocity on the note rectangles themselves. But the Quantize menu thingy works instantly so from that perspective Velocity probably should too. > I have no idea if timestretching audio will prove useful, but it's an > interesting toy. It does rather make our lack of automation stand out though. The more you encourage people to use audio samples, the more they'll miss the things they should be able to do with them but can't. > All of which makes me wish you could do it on the fly and make some 1/2X > and 2X transport buttons like Pedro and I have been pining for since time > immemorial, whose original objection, from Rich, was how the hell do you > play everything 2X when there are audio segments involved? That actually would be technically feasible, as the time stretcher can run in real-time (although with a fairly heavy CPU load, as you can guess from the time it takes to stretch a file) and can change ratio on the fly as well. Still rather fiddly to do I imagine, but feasible. > I had "resample" installed. I actually didn't know about that one. Looks like it's from Julius O Smith which probably means it's the same basic algorithm as libsamplerate. I won't make the importer support it though, because it only outputs AIFF which RG can't import natively and I can't be bothered to make the importer do yet another conversion step. > This and rosegarden-lilypondview and rosegarden-project-packager should > probably all report their findings as [x] don't show again-able > notification dialogs, I think.
