Prevent instrument from continue play into next block?

Post by unl »

I am a tracker noob, Radium is my first tracker.

I have an instrument that I want it to play a note till the end of the block. The note continues to play into the next block in the sequence which I do not want. How do I disable this?

Thanks.

I was able to figure out where this option is, but is there any other way to access this option other than the piano roll? I almost never use it and only use note text for inputting notes. Having this option only in piano roll does not feel very intuitive.

Hi, sorry for late reply.

I don't think it's common in trackers for notes to end playing at the end of the block, and I don't think I've gotten this request before. Normally you either add a "stop"-note, or a normal note, at the beginning of the next playing block.

Here is a solution though:
1. Go to the "help" menu and select "Edit keybindings..."
2. Add this line:

Code: Select all

S ALT_R EDITOR : ra.evalScheme "(ra:set-note-continue-next-block #f -1)"
3. Press F5. (i.e. save+reload)

Now you can cut the note more conveniently by first placing the cursor on the note, and then press right alt + s.

Hopefully that works.

Adding a stop note at the beginning of the next block had no effect and the note from previous block continues to play, which is why i was confused. thank you for the keybind script.

That's really not supposed to happen. Are you sure the notes were placed on the same track number?
