OpenMPT 1.24 releases

Thank you! I think now I've understood why—to let all users distinguish notes of any tuning whichever font they're using, default of not(?)

Then here's another idea: maybe it's possible to add some ASCII chars to default font? As one can derive, at least 10 'codepoints' are free in the bitmap [4 in the column with hexadecimal digits and 3 in each of two columns with letters at the right side], of course if they aren't reserved for other uses.

I see there are more than 10 characters left in ASCII and different people may want to have different ones. So if this idea is sensible then later we maybe can discuss in another thread which of them are of more interest to most people.

Of course there's the theoretical possibility to add more characters to the default font, but one has to ask - why would there be the neccessity to have an asterisk or whatever in a note name?

In my case it was 24-TET tuning so there were semiflat and semisharp notes which I named like 'Db' and 'D\' initially. But 'b' seems to be ordinary flat, and '\' is quite strange suffix. However '*' or single/double quotes look more suffix-ish IMO.

What about Db and D#?

If using them as quartertone flat and sharp, then what's better to use for semitone sharp (or flat)? When I made that tuning it looked like this: C C\ C# Db D D\ D# Eb E etc..

Generally I don't use microtonal tunings so far, and so probably I don't understand naming of their notes quite right.

Is there any kind of official or semi-official notation for these kinds of notes, maybe?

Possibly uncloned knows it from all sides.

There is Wikipedia article I read some time ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtonal_music (so quartertone flat may be 'd' and quartertone sharp... well, say, '+'?). Don't know what microtonal musicians prefer, though.

It's soon time for another release, so here's a preview for testing. Planned release date is next weekend, so you have plenty of time to find new bugs.

The biggest improvements are probably the sample cue points in the MPTM format (replacing the old coarse volume column offset) and the revamped sample crossfader, as well as the possibility to load and save envelopes independently from instruments.

When starting OpenMPT I get these messages.

Saga Musix · April 11, 2015, 20:38:43

Well, as the message kind of suggests, the plugin bridge version doesn't match the OpenMPT version you're using. You can grab the whole bundle including plugin bridges from http://buildbot.openmpt.org/builds/ as always.

New last minute feature: Selectable fade curves in the sample/pattern amplification dialog!
