Feature Request - Note Duration and Rest #1

Open garten94 opened 2 years ago

Hi,

I recently found your plugins and am using it quite often.

I think it is extremely useful when I am learning some licks or practicing scales (chords) in 12 keys.

I just wonder if there is any plan to add options for changing the duration of notes and for rests.

Below is just my simple idea for UI:

And Result:

Although it would be even better if triplet (or polyrhythm...) is possible, I think it is not an easy job.

Anyway, thanks for great plugin.

It's quite a nice idea, and you already made most difficult part of it: the UX design ! It shouldn't be complicated to implement. Keep watching the repository. I should have some time in the coming weeks to implement it.

Great! I will be waiting for it. Thanks!!

I pushed a new release. Still in test phase, but it should not contain any major issue. I should add a way maybe to save the rhythm patterns. https://github.com/lgvr123/musescore-workoutbuilder/releases/tag/2.4.0_alpha1

Thanks for reminding me. I tested a bit and found no problem at the moment.

When I first saw (R), I thought it stood for 'Root' note. Though I soon realized it was 'Rest'.

Although I don't mind it much (and idk if this is just my issue), but it seems that whole note symbol is not working properly in my environment. FYI, I'm using Musescore 3.6.2 (macOS Monterey ver.12.4)

AND... my last (Hopefully.. lol) feature request.. is 'triplet'. As you may know, jazz licks commonly contain triplet. So, it would be nice to add it... Again, below is my suggested UI: (it is just my idea for not modifying UI as possible, it's surely welcome to change the concept thoroughly)

When triplet is selected, the rhythm order changes: (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-12) --> (1-2-2-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10)

Practice Example:

Thanks!

Plus, I think it would be nice if each pattern (Pattern 1 ~ Pattern 10) could have independent rhythm. Currently all 10 patterns must have the exact same rhythm.

Thanks for testing. I'll check for the whole symbol. For the "(R)" I tried to have a rest symbol instead of that "(R)" but couldn't manage to have a musical symbol for one entry and regular text for the other ones. So I dropped that idea. The triplet is another nice idea but more complicated... Maybe in a next version.
