There are 2 different types of content:
- a master document which describes the overall structure of the manual
- normal content, which is described in the master document
- special `_manual` content
- normal content
### The Master Document
### Special `_manual` content
This is a text file (master-doc.txt) which describes the structure of the manual. It does this
through headers which tell the build script where the content lives, what its
relationship to the overall structure is, as well as a few other things.
This is content that ends up as part of the tree on the left.
All headers have a similar structure, and have to have at least the following
minimal structure:
The _raw_ content is in `_manual/` directory and has a naming convention as follows:
---
title: Some Wordy and Expressive Title
part: part
---
# content for a page at http://manual.ardour.org/<slug>/
Keywords that go into the header are of the form:
keyword: value
Here are the keywords you can put in, and a brief description of what they do:
<ordering>_<slug>.<html|md|textile>
^ ^ ^
| | |
| | extension is removed later
| |
| ends up as part of URL
|
only used for ordering
| Keyword | Meaning |
| ------- | -------- |
| title | Sets the title for the content that follows |
| menu_title | Sets the title for the content that follows which will appear in the menu link sidebar. If this is not specified, it defaults to the value of the `title` keyword |
| part | Sets the hierarchy for the content that follows. It must be one of the following (listed in order of lowering hierarchy): part, chapter, subchapter, section, subsection. |
| link | Sets the unbreakable link to the content that follows. Links in the *content* should be prefixed with a double at-sign (@@) to tell the build system that the link is an internal one |
| include | Tells the build system that the content lives in an external file; these normally live in the `include/` directory. Note that the filename should **not** be prefixed with `include/` |
| exclude | Tells the `implode` and `explode` scripts that file referred to by the `include` keyword should be ignored. Note that the value of this keyword is ignored |
| style | Sets an alternate CSS stylesheet; the name should match the one referred to (sans the `.css` suffix) in the `source/css` directory |
# a folder for subcontent is like this
<ordering>_<slug>/
# more things can then go in here for http://manual.ardour.org/<slug>/<slug2>/
<ordering>_<slug>/<ordering2>_<slug2>.html
So, for example:
| this file | appears at url |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
| _manual/01_main.html | /main/ |
| _manual/01_main/01_subpage.html | /main/subpage/ |
### Normal content
Manual content goes into the `include/` directory (or in the Master Document itself); and consists of normal HTML, sans the usual headers that is normally seen in regular HTML web pages. Any other content, such as css files, images, files and fixed pages goes into the `source/` directory.
This is anything else, css files, images, fixed pages, layouts. This content lives in the `source` directory.
If you added `source/images/horse.png` is would be available at the url `/images/horse.png` after publishing it.
Content processing is applied to normal content if it has the correct header as described below.
## Content processing
Three types of content can have special processing done.
- `.html` liquid/HTML files
- `.md` markdown files
- `.textile` textile files
All files to be processed should also have a special header at the top too:
---
layout: default
title: Some Very Wordy and Expressive Title
menu_title: Some Title
---
<p>My Actual Content</p>
The `title` field will end up as an `h1` in the right panel. The `menu_title` is what is used in the menu tree on the left (if not preset it will default to using `title`).
### `.html` files
These are almost normal html, but extended with [Liquid templates](http://liquidmarkup.org/). There are a couple of special tags created for this project.
- `{% tree %}` is what shows the manual structure in the left column
- `{% children %}` shows the immediate list of children for a page
Adding `source/images/horse.png` makes it available at the url `/images/horse.png` after publishing it; things work similarly for `source/files/` and `source/css/`.

### Helper scripts: `implode` and `explode`
### manual.rb plugin
Much of the functionality comes from `_plugins/manual.rb` - it takes the _manual format_ (contained in `_manual/`) and mushes it around a bit into a tmp directory.
This is to enable the directory tree to be understood, child page lists to be constructed, clean URLs, and the correct ordering of pages maintained.
### Clean URLs
To allow the clean URLs (no `.html` extension) _and_ to support simple hosting (no `.htaccess` or apache configuration required) each page ends up in it's own directory with an `index.html` page for the content.
E.g. `02_main/05_more/02_blah.html` after all processing is complete would end up in `_site/main/more/blah/index.html`.
The page format contained in the `_manual/` directory is different to the final rendered output (see special `_manual` content above) to make it simple to create content (you don't need to think about the `index.html` files).
The `implode` and `explode` scripts exist in order to accomodate different working styles. `implode` takes all the files referenced by the `include` keywords in the headers in the Master Document and automagically puts them into the Master Document in their proper places. Note that any header that has an `exclude` keyword will remain in the `include/` directory. `explode` does the inverse of `implode`; it takes all the content in the Master Document and blows it into individual files in the `include/` directory. Filenames are automagically derived from the value of the `title` keyword.

<p>
The <dfn>Favorite Plugins</dfn> window is on the top-left side of the <dfn>Mixer Window</dfn>. Like other elements in that window it has variable height and can be hidden by dragging it to zero-height. If it is not visible, the top-handle can be grabbed and dragged down to reveal it.
</p>
<p>
Plugin names that have a right facing triangle next to them have presets associated with them; clicking on the triangle will cause all presets associated with the plugin to show in the list.
</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<img class="right" src="/images/mixer-to-fav-dnd.png" alt="Dragging plugin to Favorites window">
<p>
The Favorite Plugins window provides easy access to frequently used plugins:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Plugins can be dragged from the window to any track or bus <a href="@@processor-box"><dfn>processor box</dfn></a>, which will add the plugin to that track or bus at the given position.</li>
<li>The list includes user-presets for the plugins. Dragging a preset to a given track or bus will load that preset after adding the plugin.</li>
<li>Double-clicking on a plugin or preset adds the given plugin to all selected tracks/busses pre-fader. Other insert positions are available from the context menu (right click).</li>
<li>Dragging a plugin from a track into the window will add it to the list and optionally create a new preset from the current settings. The horizontal line in the list shows the spot where the plugin will land.</li>
<li>The context-menu allows the deletion of presets or removal of the plugin from the list.</li>
<li>Plugins in the list can be re-ordered using drag &amp; drop. The custom order is saved.</li>
</ul>
<p class="note">
When favorites are added with the <a href="@@plugin-manager">Plugin Manager</a>, they are appended to the bottom of the list.

<p>
Under <dfn>KDE Plasma 5</dfn>, plugin and various other windows will not stay
on top of any main window; therefore a workaround is required.
</p>
<h2>Workaround for ancillary windows not staying on top in KDE Plasma 5</h2>
<p>
In order to force ancillary windows in Ardour to stay on top, the following
steps are necessary:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Launch the <kbd class="menu">System Settings</kbd> application.</li>
<li>Open <kbd class="menu">Workspace &gt; Window Managment</kbd>.</li>
<li>Select <kbd class="menu">Window Rules</kbd> in the left-hand sidebar. It
should default to the <kbd class="menu">Window matching</kbd> tab.</li>
<li>Click on the <kbd class="menu">New...</kbd> button.</li>
<li>On the line that says <kbd class="menu">Window class (application)</kbd>,
set the combo box to <kbd class="menu">Substring Match</kbd> and type <kbd
class="user">ardour</kbd> in the text entry field.</li>
<li>In the list box that is labeled <kbd class="menu">Window types:</kbd>,
click on the option <kbd class="menu">Dialog Window</kbd>, then press and
hold <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> while clicking on the second option <kbd
class="menu">Utility Window</kbd>.</li>
<li>Select the <kbd class="menu">Arrangement & Access</kbd> tab.</li>
<li>Check the box next to the <kbd class="menu">Keep above</kbd> option. On
the same line, select <kbd class="menu">Force</kbd> from the combo box, then
click on the <kbd class="menu">Yes</kbd> radio button for that line.</li>
<li>Click on the <kbd class="menu">OK</kbd> button to dismiss the dialog.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
At this point you can close the <kbd class="menu">System Settings</kbd>
application.
</p>
<h3>Background Info</h3>
<p>
<a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172615#c26">According to one of
the lead KDE developers</a>, they are not willing to follow the <abbr
title="Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual">ICCCM</abbr> standard
for utility windows. Apparently they are alone in this understanding, as
plugin windows on Ardour under Linux work out of the box on every other <abbr
title="Window Manager">WM</abbr> out there.
</p>
<p>
Under KDE 4, there was a workaround in Ardour (<kbd class="menu">Preferences
&gt; Theme &gt; All floating windows are dialogs</kbd>) that would "trick"
KDE into forcing certain window types to be on top of their parent windows,
but this no longer works under KDE Plasma 5.

title: Techniques for Working with Tempo and Meter

<h3>Techniques </h3>
<p>
As a general approach, the best way to control tempo ramps is to use them in pairs.
</p>
<p>
Lets imagine we want to match the click to a drum performance recorded in 'free time'.
</p>
<p>
The first thing we need to do is determine where the first beat is. Drag the first meter to that position.
</p>
<p>
Now the first click will be in time with the first beat. To get all the other beats to align, we listen to the drums and visually locate the position of bar 4. You may wish to place the playhead here.
</p>
<p>
We then locate bar 4 in the BBT ruler and while holding the constraint modifier, drag it to bar 4 in the drum performance.
</p>
<p>
We notice that the click now matches the first 4 bars, but after that it wanders off. You will see this reflected in the tempo lines.. they won't quite match the drum hits. We now locate the earliest position where the click doesn't match, and place a new tempo just before this. Two bars later, place another new tempo.
</p>
<p>
Now while dragging any beat <strong>after</strong> the second new tempo, watch the drum audio and tempo lines until they align.
</p>
<p class="note">
Notice what is happening here: the tempo previous to your mouse pointer is being changed so that the beat you grabbed aligns with the pointer. Notice that the tempo lines previous to the changed one also move. This is because the previous tempo is ramping <strong>to</strong> the tempo you are changing. Look further to the left. The tempo lines in the first four bars do not move.
</p>
<p>
Again, some time later the click will not align. I didn't say this was easy.
</p>
<p>
Repeat the same technique: add two new tempos and drag the BBT ruler <strong>after</strong> the newest tempo so that the beats align with the audio again.
</p>
<p>
In a general sense, adding tempo markers in pairs allows you to 'pin' your previous work while you move further to the right.
</p>
<h3>Another use case: matching accelerando</h3>
<p>
Imagine you have some video and have located where your music cue begins. Move the first meter to that frame (you may snap to TC frames, but not music with an audio locked meter).
</p>
<p>
Find a starting tempo by listening to the click while you drag the meter's tempo vertically using the constraint modifier.
</p>
<p>
You have the playhead at point where the dude slams the phone down, and your idea was that 4|1|0 would be good for this, but you want an accelerando to that point.
</p>
<p>
Add a tempo at bar 4.
</p>
<p>
Holding down the constraint modifier, and with snap set to 'TC Frames', grab the BBT ruler just <strong>after</strong> 4|1|0. Drag the ruler so that 4|1|0 snaps to the 'phone' frame.
</p>
<p class="note">
Notice what happened: The second tempo was changed.<br />
You had set a musical position for the second tempo marker. It was not aligned with the frame you wanted, so you dragged the BBT ruler, making the second tempo provide enough pulses over the ramp for 4|1|0 to align with the desired frame.
</p>
<p>
If the ramp doesn't feel right, you may add more points within it and keep adjusting beat positions in a similar manner.
</p>
<h3>General</h3>
<p>
Audio locked meters can be useful when composing, as they allow a continuous piece of music to be worked on in isolated segments, preventing the listening fatigue of a fixed form. Reassembly is left as an excercise for the reader.

Ardour has many available commands for playback control that can be bound
to keys. Many of them have default bindings, some do not, so the list below
shows both the default bindings and internal command names.
