I think it responds better with low zoom levels. percussion matrix editor. see below for explanation. i'll try the matrix editor when i get stuck again. > > - copy paste behavior: when pasting, it pastes the notes at the > > beginning of the song (is this pebcak?) > > > > Yes, you can move forwards and backwards the edit cursor with the > right and left arrows. > Notes will be pasted at this point. thanks. this had to be pebcak :) > > - when zooming in/out, the song jumps back to the beginning, even if > > the 'time pointer' is somewhere else. > > > > The zoom focus point is the edit cursor. aha! > > > i could mention some more things, it only takes me a couple of > > minutes to start hitting time-wasting oddities. > > > > > > anyone had similar issues? can it be solved? is there something > > better then rosegarden? > > I love hydrogen to edit drums.

And I need that. anyway, i learned about the segment repeating and the triggered segments in RG which seem like suitable tools to keep things organized and redundancy-free, so if I can get my issues with the editor smoothed out, I'm all set. > i tried openoctave midi but found it to be even more > > buggy then rosegarden (doesn't even render correctly) > > > > > > thanks for your help > > Dieter > > > > > > Cheers! Pablo I have been playing more with rosegarden and going through the entire manual and I found out: - i can use an 'edit marker', i was incorrectly relying on playback marker for paste positioning / "viewport positioning when zooming" -> hooray - about incorrect note selections, i found that this is a feature in rosegarden: "The Quantize menu also shows you continuously what resolution the current segment or selection is quantized to. For example, if you select a set of notes that start on consecutive quarter-note beats, the Quantize menu will update itself to show 1/4, as this is the coarsest resolution consistent with the existing quantization of the current selection." this works quite counter-intuitive for me. suppose i want to enter 3 32nd notes after each other, of which the first one happens to start on a 16th note. after adding the first, quantize changes to 1/16 so when i try to enter the 2nd i accidentally remove the first one again, no matter how precise i paste it on the correct position. with this behaviour in mind, the way to do it would be: put the 2nd note in position (to avoid quantize change), and then the first and third. this seems weird to me, unfortunately i couldn't find a way to turn this behaviour off. - the "hold ctrl while drag to copy" seems also quite useful, no need to reposition edit marker all the time. yeay.
