Mike Here's the work around for the Insert Bars problem of this build that was discussed a while ago.
1) I cannot add any bars to a new section. I can add to existing sections though.
Oops, you're right; fixed for the next build. There is a problem adding bars to an empty section. As a temporary workaround, create a marker in the layout list with the section, and then add the bar. Thanks for pointing this out. ------------------------------------ My 2c worth - The new version of DB is a bit confusing when you first start using it, but I find it quite an improvement now. The best part is that you don't need to program the song in order. If I program a chorus first, then a verse, you just create new parts in the Layout area and order them as you go. Also, by highlighting a section, you can always just play this part, no need to find it in the list and then option-space to play just a verse. As to the problem with global changes, it just means that you create verse 1, 2, 3 in the section area and make the minor changes here. No real difference to the previous versions. Stick with it.... It is worth the effort Charlie (PS I use Jaguar, i believe it's better under Panther) On Monday, March 1, 2004, at 01:01 AM, Mike Carlyle wrote:
I'm completely stumped by version 1.1B (build 3)'s section editor and layout editor. I get the fact that I can choose sections for playback and that is helpful, but it is offset by the fact that I can no longer add sections or insert bars.
Previously, I could highlight some bars, choose "new section" in the section area down on the left, and my selected bars became a new section. Now, when I do this I get a blank new section with no bars. I can't add bars to the new section. I can't add a new "layout" either, whatever that is. Is a layout a section? I don't get it. When I add a new "layout", I end up with a duplicate of the one before it.
As I understand it, this version produces a song file format that is not compatible with earlier versions. Do I need to grab the current release and start over?
I find this confounding User Interface very frustrating.
It's killed my inspiration for today.
