- for those not in the know, this series provides a way to
remove the temporal distortion introduced when using an
audio frame-based gui for music-locked objects.
In short, the gui uses an audio frame representation to move
objects. It displays the object using frame_at_beat(), quantizing
the time value to audio frames. This is fine until the user selects
that frame but expects it to be interpreted as a beat.
Thus beat_at_frame() would not produce the user-expected beat
(temporal quantization error of up to 0.5 audio samples).
This is one method of mapping audio time to music time accurately.
- a meter can be dragged using the constraint modifier, which
sets the previous tempo accordingly.
This could be added to the bbt ruler to allow direct dragging
of beats and bars, but the exact behavior of that is still
undecided. comments?
- also preliminary work on the necessary tempos locked to
audio-locked meters.
This functor/closure is responsible for stealing focus from any existing text entry (or whatever else may have focus)
when clicking on a CairoWidget or derived class.
The old implementation just gave focus back to the editor canvas. The new version walks up the widget packing
heirarchy to find a focusable parent (from the CairoWidget for which it is invoked). If no focusable parent
is found, it cancels keyboard focus in the toplevel window containing the CairoWidget
Each MidiRegionView(MRV) is connected to the Selection::ClearMidiNoteSelection
signal that is used to notify the all MRV instances to clear their note
selection.
The MRV class also has a private static SelectionCleared signal that is used to
signal other MRV instances when their selection has been cleared. When the
Selection::ClearMidiNoteSelection signal is emitted it causes each MRV to also
emit the SelectionCleared signal. So the emission takes quadratic time.
With 1500 MRV instances emission takes about 2.2 seconds on my machine, and
some operations like track selection cause it to be emitted 3 times(another
issue).
The Selection class in the Editor knows which MRV instances have note
selections, as it is notified by MidiRegionView whenever the selection count
becomes zero or becomes non-zero. Clearing the Note selection should then just
be O(N) and direct calls can be used rather than signals.
This change removes both the signals and uses the existing references between
Selection and MRV class to control note selection. There should be no
behavioural changes in Midi note selection with this change.
- disallow simultaneous events via ControlList::editor_add ()
- clicking on an automation line selects the points that define it.
- don't 'flash' a region selection when using mousedraw mode.
- cp click selection resembles region selection.
- region gain points respect snap modifier (a la automation points).
- display selected comtrol points in region gain lines
- display selected points in internal edit mode
- allow dragging of region gain lines in MouseContent mode
- also allow moving of automation lines in internal mouse mode.
- this is also a first pass at ensuring that if an operation does
nothing, avoid an undo entry.
switching to Grab should show the fade handles...
...switching away from grab should hide them.
Also, change "always show gain" preference to show lines, but not control points.
Range select rect sticks around now after switching to the draw tool, but
disappears if a note selection is made. Not sure if draw is really the most
appropriate tool here (particularly if we ever implement actual pencil-like
drawing); edit contents seems more appropriate but that would probably cause
more selection issues, so here we are.
Fix several other cases where a single mouse click could cause several
(not nested) selection ops.
Fix missing selection memento for midi notes and midi commands.
Rename some variables.
Fix random style issues.
The user can now replay *all* earlier selection operations until the next
session undo/redo command, or the completion of a new operation.
Nothing relating to selection ops is stored, and selection operation history
is begun on first idle.
Selection operation history is fundamentally different from the history of
operations which act on a selection in terms of both their viewport and the
amount of information required to replay them.
WRT undo, the user of a selection op doesn't care about the viewport state
at the beginning of an op, but rather that at the end of the previous one.
For example, if you're in a note and something about the mode changes, it's the
underlying region context that needs to change. So, seems we need a stack of
entry contexts to deal with this sort of thing.
Switching in/out of smart mode still doesn't update immediately because we
don't have the y-coordinate needed to update it.
