Eric et al., This is also a high priority in the near term -- I recognize it will make a huge improvement to usability. I forgot about it when I was throwing together that beta list -- now added. Thanks for reminding me. :) Some of the more refined behaviour you discussed later on in your message are great ideas too. To begin with I'm going to focus on the basic song- map design, and then once that's in place, feel free to begin hassling me for refinements. -ben On 29 9 2003 at 5:41 pm -0400, Eric Bailey wrote:
Basically, you'd base the entire editing interface on a song section (to use the terminology from the Doggiebox section marker list). Edits are made one section at a time, and all sections still appear in the section list.
The interface twist is that, instead of piecing together a song in the editor window, you do it in a "song-map" window that's basically a table of the drum sections in the order you want them to be played back and, for each section, how many bars should be played, what the starting bar is, etc.
