Hi,
In RapidComposer v4.4b1 Standalone (Windows 10) -
Recognition of chords from Scaler is tremendously improved. Excellent!
However, I'm observing that while the first drag-in of a MIDI file seems to go fine, another drag-in induces a hang state (spinning donut).

I checked this a few days ago, and it worked well.
How can I reproduce this bug?

You frightened me... There was no hanging, just the mouse pointer was not restored to an arrow sometimes. I fixed that now. Thanks for the bug report!sj1 wrote: Thu Dec 23, 2021 8:53 pm However, I'm observing that while the first drag-in of a MIDI file seems to go fine, another drag-in induces a hang state (spinning donut).

clear the rhythm and then try to set new notes.. once you clear, nothing will set for me.. my apologies, I should have been more clear in my first post about this..musicdevelopments wrote: Fri Dec 24, 2021 7:29 am I checked this a few days ago, and it worked well.

ok, I can maybe laugh at my self.. I had the phrase set to 32 bars and that what was loading in the editor.. I think it is all good.

but I did find a problem with it.. rhythm processing sometimes does not get the changes.. (right click first square and choose a set remainder note length)

Hi,
When I drag in the attached MIDI file (directly to track) and then attempt to convert it to Master Track chords, nothing happens. Am I doing something incorrectly?

Also, as can be seen, the file above imports with 4-chords-per-bar. When I try to drag the phrase (from the right) to the right in order to expand it to one-chord-per-bar, The dragging is takes place practically microscopically. Expanding the phrase from 8 bars to 32 bars (which would accomplish the goal) takes a double digit number of attempts at dragging as each one only moves the phrase a small increment before the mouse leaves the screen.
Is this fixable?
Is there another, better, quick and accurate way to get from 4-chords-per-bar to one-chord-per-bar?

maybe.. compare images, your is before relative convert, mine is after. Also notice, your phrase is not selected.sj1 wrote: Fri Dec 24, 2021 5:22 pm Hi,

Thanks for your experiment and comments BlueGenes!
What I'm observing today, very repeatably, is that immediately after starting RC I can drag in the file and do the relative conversion and get Master Track chords.
However, if I then discard the existing composition in favor of a New Composition (without restarting the program), attempting the very same thing will not work. I drag the file in, attempt the conversion, and nothing happens, no Master Track chords are created, no matter how many times I try it.

That can happen, but, all you need to do is re-select the phrase and the process should work..

Unf, deselect and reselect any number of times has no enabling effect here (from the state described above).
However, if I double-click on the Phrase to go into the Phrase Editor, and then Apply and return to the composition, I can do one conversion to MT chords. If I then Ctrl-Z to undo it, I cannot successfully convert again.
If I then double-click on the Phrase to go into the Phrase Editor, and then Apply and return to the composition again, I cannot do a conversion to MT chords.
If I then again double-click on the Phrase to go into the Phrase Editor, and then again Apply and return to the composition, I can do one conversion to MT chords.
Etc. ad-infinitum. IOW, every other trip into and out of the Editor (with Apply) puts me in a state from which I can do a conversion.
It seems to me that some aspect of state is not being properly kept track of across all relevant operations. We should always be able to do something, then Ctrl-Z to undo it, then immediately do that thing again successfully I think.
