Re: [jokosher-devel] [PATCH] Fixed solo button behaviour
I strongly disagree that it is un-discoverable. Everyone who have worked with computer for some time knows that CTRL is multiple selection. My pick about usability of Jokosher is that we are trying to achieve some new ground here. Staying with old errors (like multiple solo selections *by default*), in my opinion, is not right. For information and avoiding confusion we could have tool tip on button Solo, which informs about possibility to select multiple channels with CTRL. Again, of course, it is just my two bits of though, cheers, Peter. 2007/6/20, Nick Murtagh [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On 20/06/07, Panos Laganakos [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 2.

Re: [jokosher-devel] [PATCH] Fixed solo button behaviour
OK thats interesting. So what I think your idea boils down to Don't think of "Solo" and "Multi-Solo" as such. Its a mind set thing really. Its more about turning off the tracks. Then perhaps have a "Turn all tracks off but this one." that could be thought of as solo. So how you want to control the muting or "non-playing" of tracks are some sort of tick box or "power" button on each one. 2.

Re: [jokosher-devel] [PATCH] Fixed solo button behaviour
I disagree about such functionality. For example, Cubase allows to have solos on as much instruments as you want. Therefore with Solo fuction you can cherry pick channels for playing them together. Otherwise you would have to silent rest of channels which is quite foolish. Just my 2 cents, Peteris Krisjanis. 2007/6/18, Knut Erik Teigen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello again, I noticed that if you have soloed an instrument, when you press the solo button of another instrument, the previous instrument will still have solo status. The intuitive behavior is that if another instrument gets solo status, the solo status for the original instrument will be disabled. I've added code so that when the solo button is pressed, any other instruments with solo status are unsoloed.

Its awesome to see musical coders (or coding musicians) getting involved as you're exactly the kind of people the project needs on board to help it grow and to make the 1.0 release rock like that AC/DC performance at Donnington did. With regards to the functionality I think that having multiple solo instruments (and calling the button Solo) is confusing. If Cubase does this and calls the button Solo then besides having no grasp of the English language they are idiots. The point of a solo is that it is just that - a piece or recording performed on its own. What is wrong with toggling the recording button on for those instruments you wish to use? I would hope that hitting the solo button allows users to concentrate solely on that channel - I imagine it is for this reason that Knut has added the code he has and it should therefore be considered for acceptance.
