Problem with Orange Line Plugin Mother

[EdwardRosenfeld]

When I go to change a scale, sometimes the plugin will not change to another scale I choose, I find the only way I can get that change is to hit randomize and then try to add the scale I desire, this can take several tries to accomplish...

Hi Eddi, I assume you tried to change the Scale while Child is not 0 (Child Knob turned to the left and no Child CV in). When Child is 0 the Root displays the same note as Child. This is behaviour by design because scale editing of valid notes is possible only on the mother scale (Child == 0). Now I see that this might be confusing: I see three possibilities to avoid this confusion in future releases:

1. I disable the right click Mother Scale select item if Child != 0 (preferred)
2. I allow to change the mother scale if Child != 0 but this will also cause confusion because if Child is set to D with Root C and you select a Major mother scale it will display Dorian because the D Dorian is the daughter scale of C major.
3. Set the mother scale to the selected scale rotated by the current setting of Child. This may result in strange mother scales and I'm not sure whether this is a good idea.

Would you please check whether my assumption is correct ? If not please give me more detailed information under which condition Mother does not allow to change the scale. Regards Dieter

OrangeLine 1.3.3 will be in plugin manager soon. Mother Scale selection is disabled on right click menu if effective Child != 0 now. Also fixes some gcc compatibility problems between my (newer) and the plugin managers build system (older) resulting in faulty Mother and Fence.

Yes, Dieter, you were absolutely correct with regards to the setting I was using, the problem is solved...
