Hi all,
After being sidetracked earlier this month with music festivals and other things, as well as taking awhile to get Tiger up and running on my dev machine and everything building again properly, a new beta is finally ready!
http://www.doggiebox.com/distribution/Doggiebox-1E11.tbz includes the following changes and improvements:
? Fixed a couple of long-standing bugs related to changing drum kits: previously, the pattern editor would not be visually refreshed with the new kit icons, and the previous kit's keyboard shortcuts would illogically remain in force. These are now fixed (thanks Chris). ? Fixed a bug with drum keyboard shorcuts where two variants of the same drum type but with different shortcuts could not be selected immediately one after another (thanks Chris and Dan). ? Fixed a bug where tempo markings were sometimes not behaving properly when trying to set or modify them via the inspector (thanks Charlie). ? Fixed a bug where the assigned tempo would sometimes drift when repeatedly inserting new bars, if the bars were in a compound time signature (thanks Håkon). ? Added a method by which to override the default beat denomination in which the tempo is specified, as was possible in earlier versions of Doggiebox. To change the tempo basis for the selected bar(s), right- click on the note icon next to the bpm field in the inspector and choose a new note value from the pop-up menu. ? Fixed a bug where extra bars (or the entire song) could become spuriously selected while making a selection with the mouse (thanks Mike). ? New sections are now created containing a new empty bar, rather than nothing as before (thanks Charlie). ? Numeric values for MIDI properties (channel, note, velocity) in the drum kit editor are now directly editable (thanks Carl). ? Rebuilt under Tiger 10.4.2; minimum required system is Panther 10.3.9.
Next up, I hope to work on fixing the copy and paste mess with respect to bars, beats and song structure.

Music festivals are an excellent excuse :)

Is this for clicking in the "Insert Bar" floating window, where a right click by the note icon drops down a menu of purplish other note icons?
Cheers, Carl

Yup, that's it. Your description is better than mine. :)
Is this useful, and easy enough to find/use? Interested what people thing.

I was briefly mystified because I was trying to click the "d = bpm" note icon at the top of the pattern editor for a given selected section! This just beeped at me, so I went off to look for another note icon :)

Ah, yes. That might be a reasonable place to be able to directly manipulate the tempo stuff too, though... which reinforces the point that it's about time we could use some context menus in the pattern editor.
