Help and Questions / Re: New stream export page

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

For my use case, I use the sequence function to separate the songs, but... in the process of working on a tune I move patterns out of the main tune just to keep them in case I want to integrate them back in, and sometimes have multiple groups outside the main sequence. This is what was causing me confusion. 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)

I still think your idea of automatically selecting the active sequence is a good one, then you can select any subsongs in that sequence if the first one Isn't the one you are after (in my case it would pretty much always be the first in a sequence as the rest are usually just the 'left overs')

I appreciate the extra work this involves outside the usual work on this project, so thank you for the time you've put into this.

This is now changed for the next OpenMPT 1.32 update to pre-populate the subsong choice with the currently edited subsong.

Note that this isn't as easy as it may sound, so there are a few caveats to keep in mind:

- If all you use are sequences in the MPTM format, and a single sequence only contains a single song each, things are simple.
- However, if multiple subsongs are present in the same sequence, it is not at all clear which subsong should be the one selected by default: You can open multiple pattern editors at the same time. The currently edited subsong can also differ from the currently playing subsong. When the stream/MIDI/VGM export dialog is opened, it will take the edit position of the last active window, even if t currently doesn't show a pattern editor. It doesn't matter which subsong may currently be playing.

I think that would work, at least it would take the guesswork out a bit. I streamed 4 different tunes yesterday before I found the one I'd been working on.

That's my only niggle with 1.32, so you're doing something right (I am a picky little...)

The old version certainly won't be coming back as it's missing functionality, but that doesn't mean that the new one cannot be improved. Automatically selecting the currently edited subsong as the default instead of the first for the single subsong export function should do the trick. I'll look into that for the next OpenMPT update.

Help and Questions / New stream export page

Last post by n0cturn - June 14, 2025, 12:40:21

The new (v1.32) stream export page is doing my head in! I want to go back to the old version. I get having an option to stream all sub songs is good, but why not have a simple stream current sequence instead of having to try and figure out what section to stream (I'm a messy tracker and have lots of sections all over the place)

Or am I missing something simple?

1 module, 2 crap tunes... if I can post mine, then you can post yours. (is that just an echo I hear?)

I sometimes have half a dozen tunes on the go which I switch between when I get bored with the tune I'm working on.

Its probably not the best place to show your tunes if you're not confident, because most of the time nobody responds and that just leaves you thinking nobody liked it. I get round that by thinking that nobody said they didn't like it so...
