0.6.2 Reason and Solution for Incomplete Notes Display Ticket..

[tango]

I reported on my previous post that pb, while playing all the notes in a midi file, did not display all of the notes in the scroll window.

I could not leave it alone and after doing some research, testing, etc., I discovered the reason!!!

PB apparently only displays notes contained in one channel.  I changed the "problem" midi file to have its two tracks in channel 1 and PRESTO!  The "problem" was fixed.

This may not have been a problem after all.  The program could have been written to only use one channel.
A limitation that I was not aware of.

In any event, I hope this piece of information is useful.

Hi Tango,

Good to have you on board, I am listening to Rush-Ferras now on YouTube a great song. Thanks for your very detailed bug report. Unfortunately your post arrived the day I went away on holiday so I was not here to respond and I have just got back yesterday.

PB version 0.6.2 expects to have the left hand on channel 3 and the right hand on channel 4 so if you resave the midi using those channels that should fix your problem. The next release will allow you to choose which channels that you want to use for the left and right and channels.

Have you tried these pieces on this page?

How did you get on with these pieces? can you play the Beethoven piece that I play in the video?

Have you tried adding a metronome/drum track to the Rush-Ferras? Does that make it easier? I will probably get PB to add one automatically for in the next release. I just need to decide on what drums sounds and to use as the metronome.

If you want to join in with the development of PB then let me know there are things like improving the website that could be improved.

I am going to try playing Rush-Ferras now.

Thanks

Louis

Hi Louis,
I'm glad to hear from you, sorry about the delay in getting back to you, but I have been buried in getting up and running Fedora on two Vista Systems.  I have one up using the Fefora 11 DVD installation. The other system is still down. I also spent days trying to get QT to run on Vista, my problem is that I'm not picking up some libraries and the release is missing the dll's.  That's when I decided that maybe I should concentrate on plain vanilla gcc and std libraries.  We'll see how things go.

I'm very excited about your program and would like to contribute in what I can, however, my technical background is not in c++ but mainframe programming, systems and design.  I have decided to begin learning c++.  I do have some experience in Web pages so maybe I could help.

I do have the time since I just recently retired at 57 and would be able to spend some time on my music and pc projects.  As for my piano playing, I still a beginner level.

Is there any documentation for your program?  I am very interested in learning how to work with midi files.

I'll hope to hear from you soon.

By the way, are you in the U.K.?  I spent a few months in Brighton while working for American Express.  I'm originally from New York and now live in Columbus, Ohio.

Hi Franklyn,

Thanks for your friendly reply, I have been meaning to reply to this
for ages but never quite got round to it. I am not far behind you at
52 and am located at Ham in London. Are you trying to compile PB on
vista? which dll are missing (you have to copy the missing dll into
the same dir as the exe file) can you compile the example files in QT
using qmake? I have got qmake working now for PB but have not checked
it into svn yet.

What main frame languages have you used (C++ is a difficult language
to learn so don't worry about that)

There are load of things that I would like help with pb, in particular
help with compiling and then releasing the files on source forge and
updated the webpage and announcing the release would be a great help.
If you are intereseted I could talk you through the process step by
step (no writing c++ required). this would mean that I could do more
frequent releases. I have half written no a quarter written user
manual that needs some work. I also have started on beginers hints and
and tips on playing the piano. i could send you the early drafts --
what ever you want to do.

Louis
