Hi Attila.
Yes, using VST instruments in RC is a big step forward !
But I'm still really looking forward to the movement of the phrase controllers in sync with the selected quantization )) Does it make sense to expect ?

Thanks for v4.6b9!
Very nice to see "Save composition (selection only)" added so quickly!
I observe that "Save composition (selection only)" is saving 1 extra bar beyond the selected timeline area. This seems to be consistent in quick testing so far.

I also observe that when I do a Merge to bring in one of the saved sections that any choice other than 'Add As New Track' won't take, either in the UI, or in the actual action.

Also, FWIW, I have observed that upon initial startup, RC sometimes declines to start playback when so requested. It is like it is hung, though so far it eventually does become unhung if I futz enough and wait enough. The behavior is definitely different here than that of prior versions.
Have others seen this change too?

About that + button to add a new track.
If you repeatedly click that to create tracks, the new tracks "disappear" below the composition. I think if you used this pseudo code logic, it would work (read look) better:
If new track doesn't fit in work space, call the "fit all tracks to workspace" function .. but, only call that after you run out of room and need more.. because..
It wouldn't really look good if you had one track and when you clicked the button, then both tracks would zoom to the work space.. (avoid that)..

I'm observing that when I load a composition that has enough tracks in it to go off the screen in the downward direction then the + button to add a new track is not initially visible at all.
Perhaps it could always be visible if it was down with the i, mouse, and keyboard icons.
Is it where it is for technical (e.g. OOP) reasons?

BTW, I kinda like the way + button both adds the new track with decently visible size and scrolls down to it.
So, perhaps if a different behavior is also desirable for some, or for anyone at a different time, we could keep the current behavior available and add new/alternate behavior to occur when the button is shift-clicked, or alt-clicked, (etc.), or vice-versa.

Ok, my apologies, it is selecting the last added track.. If you don't change the track name, it becomes confusing when you scroll because everything is named the same.., well, it was for me. oops.

Hi.
I seem to be observing that for the IT Big Lightning to appear in the Composition pane, I need to operate the IT Big Lightning in the IT pane.
Operating one of the small lightnings in the IT pane will not lead to the Big Lightning appearing in the Composition pane.
It would be good in theory, I think, if any successful operation in the IT pane would cause the IT Big Lightning to subsequently be available in the Composition pane.
The use case here is opening an existing project, tweaking it with a one-track, one-section generation, and then wanting to continue to do the same up on the Composition pane. Yes, this would require setting up the lightbulbs as desired, and that is already a given. The point is that requiring an all-tracks IT generation to enable the IT Big Lightning to appear in the Composition pane can force you into losing data you did not want to lose.
Related to this is the idea of using alt-click to solo a lightbulb (mentioned in an earlier post).
The big picture is getting to very simple/quick track and area-limited regeneration, incl. from the Composition pane. I don't think RC is far away from this, just not quite there yet.

Could you let me know about this ?musicdevelopments wrote: Thu Feb 02, 2023 5:45 pm That is my job, and I like it
Right now fixing bugs is the most important, but saving the timeline selection is implemented in the new beta version. In about 15 minutes...
Thanks

No doubt the video shows your issue, but could you say a few words about it also so we can understand what we are looking at, what was expected, and what happened instead? Just wondering ...
