I'm having second thoughts on this - The functionality is to use pitchbend to set up a periodic rate for a vibrato effect, right? (As I said, I've not used the feature [yet].) If so, hertz might be easier for the user to think about. For example, if you have a fast tempo (say, 144) and try to "visualize" (should that be "auditorialize"?) what, say, 7 cycles per quarter note would sound like at that tempo I think it would be rather hard. But if you're thinking in cycles per second all the time, I think that would be easier - you don't have to adjust your conceptualization of the sound to the tempo. So I think I change my vote to hertz, although for those who might have forgotten what hertz is, perhaps just "cycles per second". However, this appears to imply a choice of two different implementations, as well as the naming choice, since, e.g., 10 Hz is twice as slow as 10 cycles per quarter note at q=120 bpm. I suppose this just amounts to doing a calculation/conversion for the UI for one of the choices, so I suspect it's not a big deal. > > On Thu, 30 May 2013 09:39:17 -1000 > david wrote: > > > While I've never used the pitchbend dialog, just off the top of my > > head, "cycles per quarter note" or "hertz" makes sense.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Is the pitchbend dialog easy to use?
I would vote for the most precise and complete alternative, which, IMO, is "cycles per quarter note" - as long as that's a correct description of the feature, and I'm sure it is. (I've not used the feature, but it sounds like something I would use if I ever start using Rosegarden intensively.)

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Is the pitchbend dialog easy to use?
While I've never used the pitchbend dialog, just off the top of my head, "cycles per quarter note" or "hertz" makes sense. Or even "Vibrato frequency"?

[Rosegarden-user] Is the pitchbend dialog easy to use?
On the devel list, we're talking about how to make the pitchbend dialog clearer. If you use the pitchbend dialog, if the "Vibrato wavelength" field changed to "cycles per quarter note" or "hertz", would that be easier or harder for you to use?
