Hi Ben I've noticed that a lot of tabs use a 16 measure like the following though: |----o-o-----o---| although I grant that it would be a nightmare to create a 'works every time' feature that would work in a general way, due to the variation in time sigs and especially the different instruments tabbed on each line. but... Would it be possible though to program Doggiebox to understand a line pasted such as the example above as a drum hit for every 'o' or 'x' and a gap for every '-' and ignore '|'? Perhaps you could specify these in preferences to take into account the variation. I see it working best by pasting an instrument line at a time - that way you could control which instrument is pasted to in Doggiebox. It opens up some interesting artistic possibilities - pasting one instrument into another's and pasting the same tab into different expansions of doggiebox windows to create new rhythms (or a terrible din) What do you think? feasible? I'm sure even a hit and miss function like this would be a big hit with those of us who have bleeding eyes from manually tabbing :) Second build works for me now. Big improvement. I really love the sections idea. It was a real pain having to listen to the whole song just to hear an alteration at the end - now its a breeze.
Cool ideas.
Somebody had raised the drum tab one awhile ago. The challenge will be making it work in a general way, since there is no "tab standard".
Also, the MIDI in/out thing is definitely on the list... I wish I had more brains and hands to work at once. ;)
