I have about 400 .rg files covering 40 songs and I could be mistaken but all of them behave this way. Another thing that applies to all of them is that they've evolved with versions of RG going back a good decade!

One thing that might help is to show only the tracks actually used in the piece. This would also reduce the midi mixer footprint and might even solve the subject problem. But I'm no programmer so don't hold it against me if I destroy the case for artificial stupidity :-) With a little sidebar on the questuion of font sizes, RG is not by any stretch of the imagination the only app in this situation. I always figured that font size in 'prefeences' shuld be handled on the user end as a % of monitor size, the points themselves being totally transparent, which would need a discrete interfcae (my 2 cents). _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-user mailing list [email protected] - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
