Here’s a video showing two strange things I noticed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfvgtDTNdUI

I hope you’ll see what I mean, otherwise I’ll have to whip out a microphone next time around. 🙂

1. Contents of events that have been time-stretched (and cut?) don’t sound, this also seems dependant on the playing start position.

2. When a time-stretched event is resized from the start, the original position of notes inside seems to change in unexpected ways. Don’t know if this is intentional – looks pretty weird to me.

As for the automation curve coloring, allow me to point to three posts starting from this one: http://www.zynewave.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=16579#16579

The changed coloring in 2.33 makes it neither better nor worse for me, personally. I’m fine with either for the moment.

You’re doing quite well for teaching yourself! Can’t say I’ve had problems understanding anything you wrote recently.

To try and help, let me point out something:
Every now and then you leave out some words – for example, when you say you “watch few movies”, that means you don’t watch much at all. You probably meant to say “a few”!

Also, on rare occasion you use words or expressions that are probably very similar in Spanish and English, but mean different things. I’m guilty of doing that myself quite often – with German words, of course! 😳

I also learned mostly by watching films (because the way it was taught in school was far too boring), so I think it’s a good alternative if there’s no one around to practice with face-to-face.

Ohh… you are asking for it this time! 😆
Well, I can’t say I’m overwhelmed by the beautiful lightshow you now get moving the mouse across an arrangement. I could probably enjoy it more if it had a short fade-in/out time, but that’d be too much to ask.

Now prepare for a nitpick bombardment (among other personal observations).

– I really like the look of the new track headers! Can’t use them though, since I most often zoom out so much I wouldn’t be able to see the event contents anymore… too bad for me. 😛

– A problem I’ve occasionally had in the note editor seems to have found its way into the arrangement view now, too. Namely, short events are drawn in a weird way. It’s also very hard to see when they’re selected:

– Shadow reduction around notes looks good and everything’s much snappier now, even with tons of notes – great work! (However, I think I liked the way shadows [when they first appeared] were drawn on all four sides a little better than mostly just below events.)

Now it’s pixel-pushing time!

– With a color scheme using bright text on dark backgrounds, notes and event names expand beyond the event borders. Also, the event name box seems offset from the start, resulting in 1px of waveform not being dimmed:

– At first glance, I liked the softly colored edges of adjacent events better than the clear-cut almost black lines, although I guess it does make for a better visual separation and I’ll quickly come around to prefer it. It looks weird though sometimes, as the backdrop of the event name, phantom copy and mute symbol seem to overlap the right edge (as mentioned above):

– There’s a bump at the top on fades and crossfades. Don’t see it? Let’s zoom in. 😛

– Events look like they’re shrinking when you hover over them (this actually was the same before, but not as noticable):

Fix: The track event background color is now painted properly when only part of the event is record enabled with punch-in and punch-out.

Nice! But It’s still off with overlapping events:

Okay, sorry, I’ll stop now. This post looks like a Picasso painting already.
I have a question at the end: Maybe I’m completely crazy, but weren’t there “Undo/Redo Inside” menu entries in the event right-click menu until one or two versions ago!?

Just in case you didn’t know, you can move the edit cursor to the loop start/end points, too.
Press Shift+W or PgUp on the numpad to move the cursor forward, and Shift+Q or Home on the numpad to move it backward. This will snap to either the loop start/end, punch start/end, segment selection start/end, or marker events – whichever comes next on the timeline.

Edit: Maybe I misunderstood what you’re trying to do, but I don’t think you can split events at all when using the segment tool?

Something about the ghost notes opacity seems to have changed, and now they’re different on white and black keys.
It still looks fine when using the ‘colorize note events…’ option.

Default theme and default ghost note opacity setting of 25%:

Suggestion: in the drum map (but not limited to), it would be useful to have a “paint” tool, which is probably faster to use than having to draw single notes, and more precise than holding the insert key to duplicate. Or it could be available with a modifier key for, e.g., the pencil tool (Alt-click to paint?)
