Thank you yes I was worried about using this value but I wasn't sure how to change it. Now that you have shown me I'll make the change. I created an issue here so I don't forget:

Thanks again!

Help and Questions / Re: Move notes while expanding...

The main problem here is that if such an option existed in that dialog, it would also have to work for non-trivial cases where the factor between the two pattern sizes is not 2. Such resampling is an (comparatively) easy task for images or samples, but with the relatively low detail that patterns have, it would be much harder to achieve this is in a good way. That said, it could be interesting to have this option for modifying patterns to go from 4 rows per beat to 3 rows per beat (for triplets) - if it can be made to work properly.

What you are asking for is exactly what happens if you click the Expand Pattern or Shrink Pattern icons. Is that not what you're observing?

Oh my! I haven't noticed those icons before. I've always gone through pattern properties and used the /2 or x2 buttons there, that just adds a big chunk at either the top or bottom.

Thanks for making me search out the icon names you were referring, since those didn't have the same name as the "pattern properties" I used. Wouldn't be amiss to have the same options added to that dialog, though.

Interesting project - but if I can ask for one thing: This tool should probably not identify as OpenMPT 1.29 in the header. Depending on the use case this may not be a big problem, but effectively means that if OpenMPT (or libopenmpt) plays any file generated with this tool, it will always do so with the playback settings according to how that OpenMPT version played them (including all playback bugs and differences compared to original Impulse Tracker). It would be safer to either identify as Impulse Tracker 2.14 (0x1402 instead of 0x2951), or allocate your own tracker ID (see wiki page). In the latter case, it may be a good idea to use a single fixed ID in the Dxxx range (like SPC2IT) without any version information attached to it. As yet another alternative, you could of course make this version number configurable.

Please let me know if you're interested so I'll have some motivations to work on it! ^w^

By all means go ahead

Using my totalitarian power and my massive ego to close this absolute train wreck of a thread. There is absolutely nothing to be had in this discussion, which has absolutely nothing to do with the original question.

Exhale, every software project needs a vision and someone who steers that vision. Too many cooks spoil the broth. If you cannot agree with my vision, that is completely fine, but just because you get frustrated because I may see things differently than you doesn't mean that you get to call malicious, totalitarian or being a person with a big ego. If you think it is so easy to run a project like this while allowing everyone to add their 10 cents at any point in time, and have the software survive without becoming a big messy collection of bugs and half-baked features, then by all means go ahead and show us how much better OpenMPT could be if it was done that way. If you look around a bit, 99% of forks done because of those reasons died very quickly, and for good practical reasons.

I think females are very creative and I would like to see more females on computer music forums and communities. It always seems like computer music forums and communities have mostly males, as well as males who identify as females. I'm on a Discord computer music group and it seems like so many of the members use non traditional pronouns, and one person who I though for the longest time was a female turned out to be a biological male identifying as a female and using a female avatar, these are very confusing days.

Those people are not "males", those are most likely transgender women.

Perhaps a forked edition of OpenMPT that is renamed and rebranded for people who want an alternative would not be a bad thing, and with that would come an alternative community surrounding a forked, renamed and rebranded version of OpenMPT. However it could have the effect of totally killing OpenMPT and its community.

Well that is a claim, with a definate expected result. From another perspective, pocket communities not under the control of our overlords here could thrive and make ompt much more popular.
I didnt say the communities 'would' with any certainty, just that they 'could'.
Both possible outcomes can only be tested for by doing it.

OK... A critic late to the meeting...

Low testosterone in Dudes means lower creative output... It's the difference between a bull & a steer but this does not seem to be a problem for you right?...

That provides also a segway into the subject of Women... Which I mentioned not at all as the response was not targeted as gender-based... It was just the few things that popped into skull at the time mostly a cornucopia small for sake of brevity...

If you wish I could provide a list into the hundreds>>>

The most stupid shit i have read in my life, but do go on dumbass.
