+ Parent send: allow arbitrary channel counts for master/parent send

Wow! That's super useful for both parent and sends. Very configurable!

Something's suddenly up with Auto Crossfades at Split.

They are Huge in comparison to last build.

Anyone else?

What length do you have set for preferences/project/media item defaults/overlap and crossfade items when splitting?

Are the crossfades different from that length?

Rolled back a few pres, then back to dev0927 and indeed after resetting that value it seems to be holding now. I'm using Split With Crossfade as a custom action constantly so I noticed instantly that it was behaving differently - not sure what tickled it with this pre.

Anyhow thank you it seems to be syncing with that value now!

It works now.
I also think that the term "whole note trill" is wrong. It does not mean anything. I don't know which name is correct but it needs to be fixed.

It's a trill that is displayed for the length of the whole (as in entire) note. "Entire note trill" ?

Whole note trill is entirely understandable IMO. It's a trill with a whole note duration. Easy.

Or maybe it was meant as "whole TONE trill", which is a different thing (and yeah looking at the linked screenshot, that's exactly what it is!)

(Also, you'd usually write "grace note" not "gracenote" )

Well the note is not necessarily a whole note, so I get the wording confusion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trill_(music)#Notation

OK so looks like the wavy trill is just another way to mark it, and is equivalent to just writing tr. and has no relation to note duration... Or I'm misunderstanding something. But yeah it seems that wavy trill can also span multiple notes, which is again clashing with "whole note" term tbh.




EDIT: Just checked MuseScore, and they call the wavy trill just "Trill line".

Hello, here is the difference between what you call 'trill' and 'whole note trill'. I don't think this is related to the length of the note but rather to the interval between the first note and the small note. the first case, we have a semitone and in the second a tone.

in French, I translated by :

- Upper semitone trill : trille au demi-ton supérieur
- Upper tone trill : trille au ton supérieur

I'm not sure of the official name in musical vocabulary.

I just noticed a small, not very serious problem. a line is missing from the small notes when they are above and below the staff

there is another way to see the trill too if you do according to the keysnap. Then the trill would follow the key. But it would also be necessary in this case to be able to make a chromatic trill when one wishes it. surely it must be like this on music notation software

+ API: add support for GetSetProjectInfo_String("RENDER_TARGETS_EX"), which returns the list double-null separated ("RENDER_TARGETS" is semicolon-separated)

Does anyone know what this means?

in this case, it would also be necessary to have available a trill in the upper tone, so it comes down to the same thing with what we have now.

This allows for you to use the RENDER_TARGETS API and correctly handle file paths with semicolons (allowed on NTFS). I use this for my Render script actually, although I haven't had anyone complain since I'm sure semicolons in filenames aren't very common.

  • + Parent send: allow arbitrary channel counts for master/parent send
I have questions. :-)

Let's say the parent channel has 10 channels and the child has 10 channels. At the moment, you can route 1-10, 2-10, 3-10, etc. to the parent. I'm not sure I understand the use case, nor why not 1-9, 1-8, 2-6, etc. if these kinds of partial ranges are supported.

If the parent has 10 channels and the child has 4 channels, the situation makes a little more sense: 1-4, 2-5, 3-6, etc. but at the end you get 7-10, 8-10, 9-10 which again feels weird.

Much more interesting and IMO useful is creating a manual send from a 10 channel source to a 10-channel destination. There you have a menu for mono, stereo and multichannel sources to mono, stereo and multichannel destinations. That's fantastic.

I did find a bug though. If you have a 4-channel source and a 10-channel destination, you get these options, in which the nonexistent channels 11 and 12 are referenced:

I kinda agree with sockmonkey on the routing dropdown, I dont see where I would need a 3-6 kinda routing, for what scenario this has been designed ?

I also feel that this dropdown menu is way too big. A bit disturbing.
It at least there could be sub entry for Mono, Stereo and Other, it would be more easy to navigate.

Or better have two dropdown lists, where we can enter range like 1-1, 1-3, 2-6 etc.

So here we are talking about trills that oscillate between either 0 and +1 semitones or 0 and +2 semitones. Is that correct?

"Whole note" implies note length (4x 1/4 note), so it is my very non-expert belief that it should be referred to as whole tone trill.

These are currently called in Reaper:
  • Trill
  • Whole note trill

The preffered wording would be something like:
  • Trill half-tone
  • Trill whole-tone

Because what is currently called "Trill" is not a diatonic trill but a forced half-tone trill.

While we're at it, adding a diatonic trill would be nice. This would be called
  • Trill diatonic
and it would always go to the closest note in the key, no matter if it is a half-tone or a whole-tone apart.

The advantage of having the diatonic trill would be the case when the notes that already have a trill assigned are moved up and down in pitch within the scale. Currently I need to set different types of trill each time when I move the notes (ar at least check them). Another case would be when setting a trill to a chord. Currently I need to think about what type to set to each particular not in the chord. With a diatonic trill, I would just select all the notes and assign them this one and it's done with 2 clicks and without unnecessary thinking.

hmm, here save/auto-load of last active RE selection isn't working on master, tried with/without .RPP-UNDO. Save/load still works on regular tracks.

Undo/redo is fine.

Good suggestion, though I think this is would be even better:
  • Trill semitone
  • Trill tone

Agreed, that's also what most sample libraries use.

Ha dunno, a bunch of sample libraries use HT/WT (half-tone/whole-tone) as shorthands... As far as I can see those are the most widely used terms.

Although by default in Reaper, semitone is used across the board, so it should be "semitone trill" and "whole tone trill". It's definitely NOT a "whole note trill".

I have rarely heard "half-tone". Semitone is UK, half-step is USA English. "Whole-step" and "whole-tone" are interchangeable.

I'm sure Justin and schwa being American won't get confused, but I want to emphasize that the adjective should never come after the noun as Xasman and bFooz have suggested.

That would only make sense (to me) if I were clearly notified that this is what's going to happen, which is currently not the case.

In my experience the terms "semitone" and "tone" are much more common (as well as being more succinct).*

Also, it seems to me that both "semitone" and "tone" can refer equally to both harmonic and melodic intervals. To me, "half-step" or "whole-step" tend rather to describe melodic intervals - but admittedly, that's possibly just my perception (because of the word "step", which seems to imply forward motion).

It's a form of indexing and when indexing, the noun always comes first. For example, here's an extract from the index of Gould's "Behind Bars" (p.674):



* BTW., I do feel the choice here should be guided by music theory conventions and not by whatever some sample library or other may or may not use.

IMO the most importatnt thing is to specify in the name that one is "semi/half" and the other one is "whole".

When I was a conservatory student (in the US), half-step/whole-step trills were music-theoretically acceptable, common usage. Whereas "whole tone" was generally reserved for discussions of compositional systems of the early 20th century. This stuff is clearly culturally, nationally different, so reference to industry practice isn't crazy.

The term "whole" is redundant in this sense though. "Tone" is all that's needed since the fact that it's "whole" is implied. If the interval is less than a tone, then the word "tone" will be prepended, i.e. "quartertone" or "semitone" - or even "half-tone" if you really must! Conversely, an interval wider than one tone automatically acquires a different intervallic name anyway (such as minor third, major third, etc.).

Of course, we could use similar intervallic names for tone and semitone but the terms "tone" and semitone" are useful in that they don't require any harmonic context (unlike, for example, major second/diminished third or minor second/augmented unison)
