Development Corner / OpenMpt accessibility discussi...

Last post by GoemonIshikawa - June 21, 2025, 16:22:19

Hello all, my name is GoemonIshikawa, and I am a fully blind user of OpenMPT who uses the screen reader NVDA
https://www.nvaccess.org/.

I made this topic as well as a video detailling the accessibility of the software and what I can do in it, as well as the things I can't do and what a screen reader is, and what improvements need to be made for further accessibility. I made small samples with OpenMPT and pointed them as well, and if available I will attach them here. The main focus though is a small sample of the Goemon theme from the legend of the mystical ninja although the tempo isn't correct, otherwise i'd vibe all day and the video wouldn't end haha.

Little bit about me.

Some people know me as The chiptune archiver and on Battle of the bits I'm Juan reina. I have been introduced to OpenMPT about 8 years ago but this was when Openmpt wasn't usable, and what you could access came from an NVDA adon that made certain controls and the pattern view accessible. But since that adon is not worked any more and the main accessibility is in the software, it's my note that some blind people must have made a push to talk and work with the devs for that change. Now that I have an account now I can push for it in my own way, and work with accessibility that will be usable with screen reader.

If you all need anything said that the video doesn't quite say please let me know and I will tell you as much as I can.
My aim is to make music as I can't make music via a DAW, and to eventually make some money to give back financially to OpenMPT, as it's of the only trackers that my people can use.
I've attached the samples I've worked with save for Goemon.mptm as I want to redo it.

Help and Questions / Re: New stream export page

Last post by n0cturn - June 21, 2025, 00:19:06

Ok, so I've given it try out, and.... well its good and bad. First It did auto select the subsong that was active (so that's good) but... The stream page still confuses me, I would prefer it said something like 'Sequence 4 subsong 2' instead of what it says which is 'subsong 7' then underneath it says something like 'sequence 4 order 42 to 49'

I think that's my issue, are sequences and subsongs the same thing? Surely it would be simpler to differentiate the sequences so each sequence has its own subsongs eg, sequence 1 subsong 1, 2, 3 then sequence 2 subsong 1, 2, 3 instead of subsong 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (as the sequences have already been split using the sequence function, otherwise what is the point of sequences?)

The way I use sequences is to separate the tunes, but just going by subsong puts them all back together again and I then get confused about which tune its pointing at.

Its something I will probably get used to, but I did like the simple click and go without having to think about which tune was being saved (You're making me think too much and it hurts)

By the way, if you don't want to wait for the next OpenMPT release to see if the changes work for you, you can download a test build from https://builds.openmpt.org/builds/ (use a portable download if you don't want to mess with your existing OpenMPT environment) - from the "next branch" downloads, or alternatively you can choose the "Next" update channel in the update settings. The next regular update will probably come next weekend, so there would still be time to tweak some stuff if it's necessary.

There isn't. Why would you want to disable it?

So to me the first tune in a 'sequence' would be the main tune and the rest sub songs? (I'm confusing myself just thinking about it)

As far as OpenMPT lingo is concerned, any part of the module that is completely disconnected from any other parts of the module is a subsong - so it's not like there is a "main song" and many "sub songs" following afterwards, the main song is rather the first subsong, then anything you put separately is the second, third, etc. subsong. Subsongs can be either complete sequences (if they play through completely) or any disconnected parts within a sequence. I hope that clears that up
