Sure, Reaper will not ever be FL. However, as Cakewalk has proven, it's possible to code options that enable people to customize their piano roll workflow to match. This seems like a no-brainer to me as far as any development goes. The more options you can give your user the better, that way you don't have to worry about how your implementation of Method A will upset users of Method B.Tallisman wrote:alt+8 is the default, but I re-assigned it to BE = Toggle single click note entry.zircon wrote:First FR is not easily doable. If it were, I would be doing it. I WANT to use Reaper as my main sequencer. You simply can't change the mouse assignments to match, for example, FLStudio's. It's not possible.
MO = Left click draw, and as you draw feel free to move the mouse up and down, the note will be dropped when you release the mouse button. Click on a not and and release to erase. click on and drag to move it around. resize as normal.
alt+8 put you out of single click mode so you won't accidentally remove notes when trying to edit velocities and whatnot quickly.
but you are absolutely correct. Reaper is not, nor will it ever be FL. And thus it may not be the best fit for you.
good luck

Unfortunately, few devs seem to really use this philosophy, Image-Line included. For example, in version 8 of FL, a keyboard shortcut was moved from the left shift to right shift. The most useful keyboard shortcuts (IMO) are on the left part of the keyboard - my right hand sits on the mouse. Thus, moving that shortcut to right shift irritated many users. Why didn't the developers at least add an option to switch the shortcut back and forth? Myself and dozens of others are at a loss.
