Development update (February 22)
Oops, already the next commit, though not a very big one (and I have to admit that I was already working on it when I wrote yesterday's update).
What's new
New toolbar
The toolbar has been redesigned. Instead of using the normal
QToolBar widget, this is now using a custom layout. I rearranged the buttons, added buttons to
move the playhead back and forward by a single beat, added a widget to display the current time
(both in musical time and wall time), added a VU meter to display the master output level and move
the engine load graph from the status bar at the bottom of the window into the toolbar.
VU Meter node
A simple node with just a VU meter display. I just needed the
processor, which is invisibly added to the engine in order so send the master output level to the
toolbar. Adding a UI to it and thus making it available to the user was simple enough.
Snap-to-grid when moving the playhead
Not much more to say about this.
Bug fixes
- Some previous refactoring broke the status updates of the playback and loop buttons.
- The time alignment of measured tracks (Beat and Score tracks) got out of sync with the other tracks due to rounding errors.
