regions & notes #1389

Closed LarsOde closed 4 years ago

LarsOde commented 4 years ago

Hi, Im using a large song for our live set, each song has it's own region. I use hotkeys to jump to the next region (reaper builtin) via a footswitch. I also have attached the SWS note window to show the region name. With some songs, when I jump to the region, the region name is not shown in the notes window, only shortly after I press play. A lot of songs it's ok, but some not... I can't see a difference in the regions why that would happen...

Could you perhaps upload a stripped down example project which shows the issue (containing just a few regions where it happens)?

LarsOde commented 4 years ago

This is the actual file, without any media, I hope this works. You can jump between songs with number keys too (our old way of navigating). In the future I want to jump to regions using a USB footcontroller, that's why I need to show the region number in the notes windows for everyone to see whats next ;)

Thanks for the project. I'm not sure though what I should be looking for. In the screencapture below I first go to regions 1 to 10 via shortcuts and the rest of the regions via action list (as I don't have shortcuts mapped for them) and all region names show up in the SWS notes window as far as I can tell. What am I missing? :)

hm, strange... what screening tool did you use there? Then I can show you ;)

ok, it's strange ;) when I jump with my configured region jumpers (I only use forward/backward), it seems ok. When I use my markers with hotkeys (in that file 1-2-3-and so on) for some songs it doesn't show the region name, even if the marker is in the same spot as the region start ;) reaper

Ok, reproduced, if there's a marker at the exact same place where a region starts, when navigation to such a marker, it sometimes blocks the region name display, but not always. Hm..trying to figure out why..

edit: Actually I think it doesn't have to do with already present markers or not but is more likely a rounding error somewhere.

Possible workaround for now: Enlarge the regions start a bit, so they start slightly before the marker.

update: On further investigation I don't think this is a SWS bug because when double-clicking a region where this happens (e.g. Region 1) to set time selection to it, then do a 'Crop project to selection' the marker at region start (marker 1 in this case) is gone, meaning Reaper also 'thinks' the marker is outside the region.

I don't know how/why that happened but you can fix it relatively easy by moving the marker forth and back (with snapping enabled).

closing as 'likely not a SWS bug'.
