Lmms: Automation Editor - Draw line not aligned

[zonkmachine]

Using the <Shift> modifier draws one point at the same level at the beginning and/or the end of the line.

[Umcaruje]

I think the Shift behaviour can be dropped tbh, we can do proper lines now in the automation, and it's from a time where you couldn't do that, so you had to reside to the shortcut.

[zonkmachine]

Right. I'm perfectly fine with removing this.

[Spekular]

It's still useful. For example if you set quantization to 2Xths and draw a
line, then Xths and draw another you can get a triangle wave type shape
very quickly.

This Shift mode is handy.

[PhysSong]

Confirmed. I just found another bug:

1. Add a point at the very beginning of the pattern.
2. Set quantization level to 1/4
3. Hold shift key and click 1/16 bar before the second bar starts.

[zonkmachine]

OK. It looks like a majority is for keeping it. Hacking...

[zonkmachine]

@PhysSong I'm pretty much done straightening out the line. I have seen disappearing points but I'm currently failing to reproduce it from your recipe above.

[PhysSong]

@zonkmachine Could you try edited steps and test what happens?

[zonkmachine]

[PhysSong]

@zonkmachine Could you retry with significant difference in Y position difference?

[zonkmachine]

Yes. I'm testing now with all settings I can think of but don't see anything. Is this supposed to be reproducible every time?

$ ../target-stable-1.2/bin/lmms --version
LMMS 1.2.0-rc49.11
(Linux x86_64, Qt 4.8.6, GCC 4.8.5)

[zonkmachine]

@PhysSong Can you test #3997 and see if this fixes the issue you saw?

[PhysSong]

Okay, I will.

[PhysSong]

I mean https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/pull/3997#issuecomment-346416449 here.

[zonkmachine]

I mean #3997 (comment) here.

Sorry, I didn't get that. Do you mean that you see the issues I describe in that comment on stable-1.2 ?

[PhysSong]

Not really the same, but something very similar. The issue with the start/end point and quantization. I can make a demo if you want.

[zonkmachine]

Demo, yes please!

[PhysSong]

1. Click a point 1/24 bar right from the very beginning.
2. Click another point 1/24 bar left from the beginning of second bar while pressing Shift.

The points will look weird, both with and without #3995.

[zonkmachine]

The points will look weird

Pic please! As before I don't see anything odd here.

[PhysSong]

Ah, the line itself isn't weird, but the position of end-points are.
