Michael (empowerg) wrote a few Py scripts for velocity and randomizing notes in the drum editor and piano roll(I think as I don't use).
They've stopped working. I've contacted Michael on FB and he said it could be a version thing of the Python.
This is the error I'm getting. I'm using Arch64.

Hi, I get this similar message but a slightly different missing module:

RandomizeVelocityRelative", line 31, in <module>
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
ImportError: cannot import name 'QtGui'

I am certain it is just a matter of installing the right modules.
I cannot check right now as I have over 3000 package updates but I'm
in the middle of something and it complains that dependencies are missing
so I need to wait until I'm finished my work to install everything at once...

Tim.

Argh, PyQt4 is getting quite old, could be the packages are no longer complete.. The scripts should be ported to PyQt5, actually, didn't I do that already?! Hmm :S

I'm not that fluent in Arch packaging, as Tim says it could be a missing package, search for more pyqt packages?

It could be a python version issue too, as Michael suggests. If you have several python versions installed maybe not all of them have PyQt installed.

Michael tried a few things when I mentioned it to him on FB and he came to the conclusion it was PyQt4 thing.

Hopefully, They get ported to qt5. It's perplexing how a complete qt5 port would still rely on qt4.

Ported the script at hand to PyQt5, please find it attached.
I'd propose creating the scripts folder here $HOME/.config/MusE/scripts/ and putting the file there. MusE will find it and display it in the menu.
The file needs to have the executable bit set.
E.g with: chmod +x RandomizeVelocityRelative
You of course need PyQt5 (for python3) installed to get it working.

I'll go through the rest and update them in the repository in a bit.

yep that works. thanx. will you be doing that for the other scripts?

Yes that was my plan.

So, there. I've gone through all the midi scripts and updated them to PyQt5 where applicable. Added to git in the main/master branch.

thanx man! before I update, the version setup by milk for Arch, do you know if that's different?

OMG, I did forget completely about this, sorry. I should be in my holiday, but then stuff started happening and this slipped completely from my mind, sorry.
