[Rosegarden-user] MIDI Instrument creation script
Hello list ! I am a newcomer here, new to Rosegarden and Linux computer music in general. For those old enough to know, I am coming from Cubase Score on Atari FALCON CLAB MKX. I am learning Rosegarden and setting up my studio environment and wanted to prepare a MIDI Instrument definition to manage my Roland JV-1080 banks. But I found the SR-JV80-07 - Super Sound Set Expansion Board Device file is missing. Then I tried to make it on my own, following Wiki information: https://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/dev:device_files#editing_with_the_gui https://www.rosegardenmusic.com/resources/documents/rgd-HOWTO.shtml I check the JV-1080 MIDI chart from Owner's Manual and here: https://static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/Jv1080sq.pdf and found I should use (Board in expansion D) these settings. MSB LSB PrgChg Patchs 84 6 0-127 1-128 84 7 0-127 129-256 Problem, when trying to generate the RGD file I have got following error message : /Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/userfolder/rosegarden/./txt2rgd.py", line 299, in name = f"{MSB:03u}-{LSB:03u}" ValueError: Unknown format code 'u' for object of type 'int'/ I made a few tests editing the csv source file I found out the converter accepts only : * 0 as MSB, at least from 0 to 10. * doesn't accept 7 value as LSB. Am I doing something wrong ? IS it a bug ? Any explanation or investigation suggestion to solve this ? Thanks, and best regards. ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
Re: [Rosegarden-user] Saving projects
How about having rg rename the original file to have the current date/time, then saving the new. This way each time you save, you have a backup of the previous version. Over time it will generate a mess of files, but we could have it limit the number of backups to, say, 10 or so by deleting the oldest backup. Gnucash does this. Another option would be to just keep a single previous version with a tilde "~" at the end of the file. This is a common approach and should be good enough for the situation you are describing. These seem more conventional and useful than a pop-up to me. Ted. On 12/7/23 1:10 PM, Will Godfrey wrote: Is it possible to set Rosegarden so it *always* asks for confirmation when saving a project? If not can it be added as an option? The reason I ask is that there have been a few times where I've forgotten I've been reworking an existing project (gone away from lunch etc.) then carried on working for while and hit save without thinking wiping out the original work as a result. So far, this has not been fatal as I always keep duplicates, but I'd rather not take risks. ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
