What is the cause of a gray triangle in Part?

Post by digitsun »

Hi,

I edit some midi tracks and in some of them appears a gray triangle in the left of Parts.

What is the cause of that visual information?

There is MIDI data to the left of the start of the part, you can get this visual info at the right too. Press D and drag the start of the block to expose it (expand the part "block").

Interesting... but in the image I don't have any data before of the start (well... notes no, maybe MusE reads another midi data).

Maybe there is controller data before the start? Select the part and press Ctrl+L to see the event list.

Exactly, I saw in event list that I have a controller data. May I move that data in the time for fix it?

Sure! (You can always make a copy of the part by Ctrl-dragging so if you mess it up you have it saved.) :)

How is the visual mark when the MIDI data starts after the beginning?

Hi!

If all midi data starts after the beginning there is no mark.

If there is midi data after THE END (tada!) there is a similar mark.

Hmmm...haven't seen that one. I can't find it on the wiki, either (https://github.com/muse-sequencer/muse/ ... ng-in-muse).

@spamatica or @Tim E. Real, can you explain it for us? :)

I'm sorry, forgot about this question.

Could it be one of the events you can enable in Settings->Appearance?
On the Arranger tab there is a selection of events that can be checked.

In my computer the green bar shows Control events, e.g.: MainVolume. I think this feature is ok.
