yes the order (track - item - channel) vs (track - channel - item) would have to be toggleable
What ED is saying is that, for example in track-item-channel view, the presence of channels would not need to be toggleable because it can just remain folded.

Thanks Semiquaver. I got that, it's like I first thought, lol. That was just my attempt to make sure what the idea is, when Tod asked about the toggle and ED replied there's none at all.

Interestingly, there's one other arrangement that that makes logical sense: Channel x Track x Item (the other three (C x I x T, I x T x C, and I x C x T) don't make sense because items aren't uniform across tracks).
I'm not suggesting that this be added! But it's interesting to think about toggling visibility/editability of channels across all tracks and items.

A couple of things,
We still need a better way to select the tracks we want shown in the Track List. The way it is now is not only a little klutsy but I don't think just collapsing the un-selected tracks and leaving them in the list is the way it should be. They should be taken completely out of the list.
We also need a way to select/show all or unselect/show all except the active and visible tracks.
I might also mention that if you click on a collapsed track it actually will become the active track in automatic mode. This can be fixed but I'd rather not even have the collapsed tracks in the list.
--------------
The other thing relates to a post I made a few days back.
http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=119410
I think this is being exacerbated with the added CC lanes and events in the Track List.
Yesterday I was purposely working on a real project using the latest install in an effort to find any bugs or problems.
Things slowed down so bad I thought Reaper was going to crash. I quit before that happened.
This could end up being a real problem and I'm not sure how the devs can deal with it. I think it's a problem that's been there, probably for ever, and I'm sure has to do with too much data on the screen at once.

Please do it this way, if it happens at all. To me, it is most logical to have a tree for Item Channels. Per-Item.
Collapse/expand the list via the [-] box, just like Items under Tracks, but for Channels under Items.
[-] Item Name
Ch. 1
Ch. 2
Ch. 3

Well, there is still that column in Track Manager for selecting which tracks show in Track List. But there is also this right click menu option (over the Track List), Choose which tracks appear in track list. Selecting that you will get a gray cross next to each track in the list and if you click any of the crosses (so they turn black) and close/open the Track List again, the selected tracks won't show in the list anymore. Right click menu option is always there to bring back the whole list again.
Smart and handy, me thinks. But the selection column could as well work with the usual selection modifiers too?

So basically what medicine tactic presented as "View by Item" in the previous page:
Quote:
Track 1
|
+-Item 1
| |
| +-Channel 1
| | [...]
| +-Channel 16
|
+-Item 2
| |
| +-Channel 1
| | [...]
| +-Channel 16
|
That makes most sense to me too.

Xpanded, exactly that. I made a fancy mockup in Gimp, but it isn't done yet. But this is how my mockup looks in terms of the "folder/track/item" logic. Really, it's just a continuation down into the Item as to what you're editing/drawing.

Thanks xpander, I didn't know it still existed in the Track Manager, but that doesn't work very well either. What I'm talking about is completely getting rid of the tracks you don't want in the Track List all together. The Remove from MIDI editor is greyed out, only Hide in MIDI editor track list works.
For me right now, this whole way of dealing with the Track List is very klutzy. It's not that I can't or wont use it, it's far better than what we had. But I think it can be much better.

Well, so far that can be done from the Track Manager and over the track list itself ...did you try the right click menu over the track list already ( Choose which tracks appear in track list)?
However, these selections only seem to be valid for any single ME session only. Once the ME is closed and re-opened, all the tracks are back there. I gather you would like this feature more permanent though, where the tracks don't show up again unless so selected?

These seem to be dependent on the state of visibility. You get both options when the track is visible, and only the hide option when it's not visible in the MIDI editor. This might seem a bit confusing where visibility in one part (MIDI editor) defines the availability of option to hide it in the other part (track list).

What version of Reaper are you using xpander, I'm using V-4.33pre30. Are there new versions that have changed all this?
What I'm talking about is the way it's just collapsing the tracks and not getting rid of them. Is this not happening for you? Also the Remove from MIDI editor is always grayed out no matter what I do or what state the ME is in.

Yes, I think that would be the appropriate way, don't you? I don't want it all set up and then changed when I have to go out and then come back in, that can happen frequently for various reasons.

I don't recall how exactly this latest pre version would be different from what you are testing, but yes, I'm using the v4.34 pre2 now.

I'm still on fence about that. As long as I can select from the track list itself, I'm fine. But yes, I can imagine occasions where I'd like to keep the hiding selection for longer than just one ME session.

Okay, I'm going to download v4.34 pre2 now, I've been watching the change logs and didn't see anything relevant to the ME Track List but evidently.
Thanks xpander.

Okay, upgraded to V4.34pre and it didn't make any difference, Remove from MIDI editor is still grayed out.. I looked all over in the MIDI Editor Preferences but didn't see anything pertinent. Maybe somewhere else?
Incidentally, I open the ME with a shortcut key "E" and I'm not having a problem with the ME resetting itself doing it that way. However, it does reset if I use one of the Track Manager selections.

Looking at your track list, I see that you have only Cello-1 track visible (eye icon). If you'd have the tracks 2-6 also visible, they should then have both the hide and remove options available...that is, if it works like here.

There must be one of the elusive abominable settings somewhere.
Any ideas?

Hehe, I tried to describe it earlier, but maybe next gif is more clear (visible > Remove from MIDI editor option). Only that today I seem to get the option, but it just doesn't do anything. I could've sworn that yesterday I was removing tracks from ME (and the track list) like this. Funny. Anyways, editability seems also to bring up the option Remove from MIDI editor. No, doesn't work either.
And following is the other way I was talking about. You have to close and reopen the track list after the selection to update it:

Thanks for the help xpander. Yeah, I know about doing it right in the Track List itself. However it only collapses them and doesn't completely hide them. Back a few pres ago we could completely hide them.
Oh well, it looks like they've put the Track List on hold for a while. Maybe when they get back to it things can get straightened out a bit.

Yea, only hides them right now. Like you said, hopefully they get a bit more attention later on.

Late to to party here.
Looks like I am about to be kicking and screaming and throwing a tantrum.
The way the multi MIDI stuff is progressing, I might be stuck at 4.4 for a while.
Hopefully I am wrong, but it seems like in these pre's, the multiple items need to be selected in the arrange in order to be seen in the MIDI editor.
please stop me right here and tell me I'm wrong!
Before, when you'd open all track MIDI, you'd have your selected item to edit, and the rest of the items would be faintly drawn. When you click on the fainter notes - the item selection would change.
I used this behavior to basically comp takes and other things directly in the MIDI editor. Split, glue... basically any sort of action that you could do in the main can be done in the MIDI editor if you set the actions up properly and have the key pass through to the Main, and then to reopen all track MIDI. This works because the item selection in the arrange and the item for editing at tied. Just recently got this workflow down, took hours of working out custom actions - and now...
now I'm about to have to throw a tantrum.. lol
I think adding an option to draw all track midi faintly on the editor, like the old behavior, to how it is works in these pres would solve this for me.
Might be another way. I haven't worked with MIDI in these pres much, so perhaps I'm missing something.
thoughts?
Why does seeing the notes have to mean the item is selected!!!!!!!!

Hi James, with one of the latest builds that has the Track List it does open the ME that way. I'm using V4.34pre2.
However, with this version you can't click on the fainter note to change tracks, however back a pre or so you could and it might come back in an update. However you can do that in the Track List. Do you have the Track List open? In the upper menu click on Contents and make sure Track List is checked.
It's definitely not ready for prime time yet but it's heading in the right direction.

yes, when you double click, it does bring up that item for editing. However, all the track midi items remain selected in the arrange. this is what breaks my take actions!
I believe 4.34pre2 is the version I have on my portable install. I tried all the iterations of the settings.

No, If You use latest 4.3x pre You can set in the Options> MIDI editor "open all track midi" and You can select only one item, it will open all items at once.
Quote:

|
Right, if You select option: "only active item is editable"
BUT UNFORTUNATELY there is one thing broken during latest pres and I hope it will be fixed until all new MIDI editor options will be released:
After opening a MIDI item in "Open all track MIDI" mode, only ACTIVE item should remain selected, not ALL items, as it is now.
I hope that Cockos will fix it in the next pre!

Yes, please!
Or optionally not selected, but has focus.
Because:
Even if I wish to edit the Active Item, it's unlikely that I
want to edit every Note within the Active Item as well.

this is exactly what I am talking about. When I say selected, I mean, selected in the arrange view.
So this was different in previous pres?

Well, it was different, but it wasn't right in any pre of 4.33 - 4.34 cycle

Each pre has been different, sometimes headed in the right direction, sometimes not so much. At least it's all been possitive, giving everyone a chance to check it out and discuss it.
I think what we need most at this point is a dedicated way of selecting the tracks that appear in the Track List. Much like the Contents menu but just and only showing the midi tracks, no items or other type selections. Of course it should stay open until you close it.
Heh heh, also just a little bumb...

EDIT: Nevermind, this was user error (I had stretched out the midi item so that playback rate was insanely low, doh!
Maybe this has already been discussed, or maybe I'm just stupid, but it seems like switching away from an active track messes up the timing:
Apologies for the crappy gif, but I think you can see that perfectly-aligned 8th notes become misaligned when I switch to a different item/track, and quantize doesn't fix it...?
(I am probably just not very smart...)

You've got the bypass box in the quantize dialog checked, fwiw. Seems to still be a problem though, since you seemed to draw the notes on the grid in the first place.

There will be a new prerelease later today with the MIDI track list back in the build.
Regarding the media item selection and visibility -- there is an option (right-click on the MIDI track list): "media item selection mirrors arrange view."

But in "automatic mode" all items visible in the editor are selected in arrange view. Is this as intended?
*edit*
never mind the edit.. lol.

I believe dr_After is looking for something like "Arrange view selection follows active item". See here.

Is there still no native REAPER distinction b/w sharp and flat keys in the ME scale or note picker? (If so, it's been that way for 3+ years now.)
Thanks-
