JJazzLab-X is a complete desktop application, but with no "music generation engine" plugin. JJazzLab is a JJazzLab-X distribution which includes the "YamJJazz" music generation engine. More info here: https://jjazzlab.gitbook.io/user-guide/ ... s/overview

But I also worry about that JJazzLab seems to be a one man show and it seems that it's a project, that is to big to be managed just by one. I would LOVE to have other developers involved, because the development effort is huge. The underlying https://github.com/jjazzboss/JJazzLab-X is open-sourced ...

I found another small issue: when a long song which requires scrolling ends and you press the space bar to start again, JJazzlab does not jump to the first bar. I tried several songs with a different number ob bars per line, the first line with bars is not shown. That's normal in 2.3 because the sp...

Is it possible to show the length of an intro/ending/fill when chosen, for example two bars?

Yes I understand this could be useful. I'll see what I can do.

I hope you know what I mean, is it possible to show the next line of bars a little earlier?

Yes you're right, I see the problem, I'll fix that.

I mean I said JJazzLab-X is an end-user program because it's a standalone program a user can run, with a UI etc. (i.e. it's not a library). But indeed JJazzLab-X is targeted to developers who develop music generation algorithms.

Is that an end-user program though? I thought it was just part of the overall package.

Yes, JJazzLab-X is an end-user program, everything should be fully functional, though it only embeds a "stub" music generation engine which just shows how to use the API.

To be accurate: JJazzLab is a distribution of JJazzLab-X (100% open-source) bundled with a proprietary plugin (YamJJazz music generation engine, based on Yamaha style files).

Yes I'm the sole programmer, and I carefully check the licenses of the few external libraries JJazzLab use. So if ever you decide to do it, you have my authorization :D (and don't hesitate to contact me if needed) Don't bother with the .sf2 file if it's too big, it's really easy to download separate...

Squalala Thanks for your nice words :D I've heard that you were working on a drummer's like algorithm. Is that still true ? This is on the to-do list. I would love to try to replicate some of the Logic Pro Virtual Drummer features, being able, with very few controls, to modulate the drums & bas...

GMaq In general the easier it is for users to access my app, the happier I am :wink: So if AV Linux can help, this sounds interesting. The issue I have is I don't have expertise to do this. I guess I could manage it technically if I'd take time, but I also have 100's of other things to do to improv...

I've just released JJazzLab 2.2.beta which brings a few convenient new features (rhythm preview, new dark theme, transposed playback for sax/trumpet players, print lead sheet, ...). Also a friend of mine made a great demo on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzclJLpATwc I got some feedback f...

Hi Frank, Next version will let you manually configure the precount bars. Current JJazzLab version (2.0) decides 1 or 2 bars depending on the context. For example if song is 4/4 and tempo < 100 then precount is 1 bar, if tempo>=100 precount is 2 bars. For the other problem "1st beat is swallowe...

The number of beats using the "count in" differs from 3 to 8 beats.

Normally precount is 1 or 2 bars, depending on the time signature and tempo. There is no way right now to adjust it manually.

In general I add a 1-bar section "start" which uses the Intro-A variation.
