Thanks for the feedback (as disappointing as it is to hear). If you feel
inspired to do so, could you file an issue at the GitHub page, with the
build errors and your Qt/C++ versions if possible? I don't think I've
used any Qt/C++ APIs beyond those in official Rosegarden but maybe
something snuck in.
As mainly a *user* I tend to disagree with the 'speculation' in the
README file [0] where it says:
'changes to Rosegarden's user interface and/or workflow (beyond the most
trivial) are unlikely to be approved based on a belief that a large user
base exists, the majority of whom would not accept such changes
regardless of whether they represent improvements or not.'
I appreciate your opinion and wish I could agree ("re-agree"??) with
you. But I stand by the facts I cited in my post and elsewhere. Take a
look at what happened when Ted made a much-needed change to "dark mode"
a while back and received a complaint from one user that (pure
speculation again) re-cemented his commitment to a "no changes unless
reconfigurable back to the previous way" Rosegarden UI/UX.
I think there's always interesting discussions on new features (e.g. see
the ones about 'new' looping mode), and the concept of 'improvement' is
often subjective ;-)
You're absolutely right about the subjectivity. But at some point you
just have to bite the bullet and go for it.
- Visual distinction between vertical lines indicating measures, beats,
and inter-beat grid timing.
This one would be useful when entering in 16ths (or even 8ths) e.g.
drums or even synth arpeggios.
Exactly. Many more such examples, both documented and
implicit/discoverable. I'd love to get your opinions if and when you're
able to build the code.
As I'm not able to build the fork I wonder if any screenshots /
screen-grabs exist.
Not currently, although they're one of many things I'd like to add.
