Piano Roll Keys

Hi again,

I just noticed that keys in piano roll are not displaying MIDI notes being played. Is that something that can be added?

All the best,

none.

the piano-keys on the left side of the MIDI clip ediitor (aka. piano-roll) only display the current key being hovered with the mouse cursor.

cheers

One small thing that would be really useful would be to have the entire row shadowed or highlighted when a key on the left is hovered over.

that would be excellent, I must agree

on the left-pane, virtual/vertical piano keys, just click and drag up or down a bit to select the row of notes you ask

hth.
cheers

I think he means horizontal note row highlighting when the mouse cursor just hovers over the piano keyboard keys without clicking on anything

just don't know when or how soon'ish :)

made it come true on qtractor >= 0.9.17.24git.a58944

now, the said "whole note row shade" is only visible when you hover or click on the left-pane virtual/vertical keyboard.

the next question that ensues goes like: should it be
a. always visible whenever you hover the mouse pointer on the piano-roll; or
b. should a. be an user preference option ?
you tell me
cheers

[UPDATE:] as of qtractor >= 0.9.17.25git.3631fa option a. is stuck to business. now, question to you all is whether option b. might be a good idea. ;)


^- current note blue-shade line (hovering) -^


^- current note red-shade line (click/preview) -^

what do u think?

Option a is as cool as it gets, and is very suitable color-wise. Option b also looks rad, I don't even know.. I'd decide by flipping a coin c:
But I think option a is a safe choice anyhow. (not that I advocate safe choices :))

I love it so much, I'm probably going to go compile it! :)

Running a freshly compiled git checkout ATM. This is an absolute game-changing killer feature. Total productivity booster!!! Greatness!

Also, I really love it.
