Piano Roll

1.8RC11 (8-15-16)

Does it seem to matter what text you're entering? Do you happen to use a non English-US keyboard layout, use any special characters (ie. accented, extended ASCII or Unicode)?

[AlexTaylor]

My keyboard is UK, and I haven't needed to use special characters or accents since this started.
It doesn't seem like it matters what I'm typing, as it's just random, I'm not certain though.

But it does seem to happen with two specific songs, as I started a new song to test along with various other in-progress songs and have not had the issue so far.
I don't see what could be causing this issue with these songs, but I can send files if needed.

[AlexTaylor]

The problem seems to be fixed.
I made new folders for both songs and moved the files into them (same folder name, and the inner files like the midi and ini are untouched), and the problem is gone.

I have no idea what happened before but it's solved now.

[raynebc]

That's odd. I guess we'll have to see if it happens again.

New hotfix is up. Non pro guitar specific changes are as follows:

Added a warning during startup if EOF is being run in Windows and is located within one of the "Program files" folders, as Windows has security mechanisms that will interfere with normal program behavior.

New hotfix is up. Non pro guitar specific changes are as follows:

Improved the check that runs during normal save that warns about lyrics outside of lyric lines, which will now seek to the first offending lyric.

Hello Rayne!

Just wanted to inform you that the gh import of original console charts is broken.
.. i'm like the only one who uses this function it seems.



Just thought I'd bring it to attention.



ps..its not actual the r1337 hotfix...thats just the folder name. the help > about says "EOF v1.8RC11 (8-15-2016)"

[raynebc]

It took a while doing binary testing of old EOF builds to track this down to the offending line of code that was added to the QB format GH import code nearly 1.5 years ago, but it's now fixed. Thanks!

[raynebc]

New hotfix is up. Non pro guitar specific changes are as follows:

*Fixed a bug with GH import that would prevent QB format charts from being imported.
*Improved GH import to suppress warnings about all off-beat time signature changes after the first offending one.
*Added a new GH3 MIDI variant written during MIDI export. This MIDI file is the same as the normal MIDI, but the forced HOPO marker is written with a length of 0 delta ticks instead of the full length of the affected note.
*Fixed a bug where setting an unsupported grid snap count (higher than 64) while grid lines were displayed could cause EOF to crash.
*Increased the maximum custom grid snap size to 96 and added 1/64 and 1/96 built-in grid snap sizes.

First of all, thank you for making EOF and continuing to update it.

I have a request, which I hope will be simple enough.
Could you add 2/4 to the built-in time signatures?

I know it's not too much trouble the way it is, but considering how often 2/4 happens, at least in metal, it would be nice to just do a simple click as we can with the others.

[raynebc]

Consider it done.

[raynebc]

New hotfix is up. Changes are as follows:

*Added a 2/4 option to the "Beat>Time Signature" menu.
*Added a Y hotkey to "Note>Simplify chords".
*Added logic so that if all lyrics in a lyric line are moved, the lyric line moves with them.

The new logic that can automatically move lyric lines can be expanded to move other section types (ie. star power, solos, etc.), let me know if this would be desired (ie. a preference to be enabled) or if you find any bugs with this feature.
