keyboard and 'middle c' or octave number #1685

Open porres opened 2 weeks ago

porres commented 2 weeks ago

I realize now that [keyboard] has a different design and does not mark 'middle c' to the user visually.

This is done in the original vanilla by having the key with a different color, and I'm thinking of maybe changing that

I see you provide numbers for octaves and it's nice... but I thought you had them displayed while in run mode.

Maybe that is a good idea, to show them, and even maybe toggling if they must be displayed or not, and I guess I can try and do the same for Vanilla

But right now I think that maybe you could just also display these while in run mode? what do you think?

We did have them displayed in run mode. That was a recent change to remove that. It would be really great to have a toggle in the else/keyboard settings to show numbers.

Maybe default is on, as most people would use the keyboard for mouse-note entry. If you can add this feature to ELSE/Keyboard we can incorporate it easily.

numbers by default in run mode is nice, I will try to add this to Vanilla and also add a toggle.
