On a general note: please beware of feature bloat…

Just a quick Q:
Is there a PDF manual, or just the tutorial videos. The plugin is pretty much straight forward, it's strong suit is it's visual representation and "multi arp" (mutli MIDI channel) usage over i.e. BlueArp and/or Kirnu. But I'd love to read a bit deeper into the plugin's features (the more advanced ones) before I form my final opinion about it.
Installed the demo, but didn't find the manual. Hence my question.

The full install comes with a 47 page PDF manual.

Actually - there is a manual installed with the demo, it's just not hot-linked.
It's in the ProgramData folder (a hidden Windows folder in the root), then the subfolder "Squareheads". In it is a 1,37MB PDF manual, and a couple of settings folders.

Ooooohh! I found it. Thanks Nightpolymath and Compyfox!!! I didn't realize they (Nora and Nora Harm manuals) would be hiding in C:/ProgramData/Squareheads. I never need to go in that ProgramData folder for anything. Sheesh.

Start Nora or NoraHarm, click Help, then choose Contents. No need to dig around that deep.

It would be great if Squareheads could offer the manual WITHOUT installing and/or firing up NORA. Some people just want to read manuals beforehand. I guess I'm one of those "oldschool" ones.

If you decide to implement a scale lock change feature you could do it as a drop down timeline pane, either per bar or resizeable. The pitch shift feature alone has allowed Nora to break the bonds of strict harmony and become a formidable melodic tool, combined with this and Nora would be a complete musical workstation for me. Regardless, cheers on an amazing piece of software.

I can't find anybody else mentioning this so it must be something stupid that I'm doing but …
On my MBP I cannot two fingered (i.e. mouse wheel) horizontal scroll within the windows properly. That is, I move the window to the left and it immediately jumps back to the right? Not all the way (far right), just a little jump. Vertical scroll works as expected.
It's doing my head in!

Out of interest does the same thing happen if you manually scroll using the zoom button ? (highlighted)

A right click zooms out.
Left button and drag resize.

The zoom button and scroll bars work as expected. It is just horizontal two fingered scrolling that is borked.
Edit: Trackpad on Late 2011 MBP 17" (pre-retina) 10.8.5
When I say it jumps to the right, I mean the window content jumps to the left. So part of the first bar disappears. for example in the phrase editor, or the first column (Track 1) of the pattern editor disappears.
Happens in Live, Logic, Bidule, Numerology so not DAW specific.

Strange, no wonder its doing your head in.lnikj wrote:The zoom button and scroll bars work as expected. It is just horizontal two fingered scrolling that is borked.
Might be of interest if you mention your Daw/OS etc maybe the developers can help?
Have you tried using an external mouse to eliminate your laptop?
