Gavin GrundlinghHave my first NVDA Composer attempt, from here on out called "total boredom on my part". A classic of Mr @FreakyFwoof. Bouncing Round the Classroom.
Andre Louis@batworx Aaaah now it's a shame I can't see the data for this. Possibly your instance doesn't have enough room to copy it all but if it does, hell yeah. That is complex and all the arps and movement. Very @arfy like. Methinks he'd approve. #NVDAComposer
@FreakyFwoof @arfy I'll make a post where I attach a text file with the data. :)
@batworx @arfy When you do that, be sure to select all, then copy with CTRL Shift C, not just CTRL C. Without the shift doesn't copy tempo and note information so you can copy/paste in your own projects without messing it up. With shift, adds the hash tag and tempo and any note info you put into the F2 dialog.
@FreakyFwoof @arfy No no, I've already saved the project as a text file directly in NVDA Composer. I'll just send that.
@batworx @arfy Sure, but for socials when you do the Shift it adds the tag and all that info. If you're sending the pure text file to someone and send a direct link, that's cool of course, but if you pull a search for that hash tag you'll see others who have shared some very cool things that you can dump straight into your composer without having to go through the hassle of saving the text into a file then loading it. I wanted to make it super easy to share clips.
Make sure you paste with Shift though, or again, you won't get tempo or the title of the composition.

@FreakyFwoof @arfy I might do that with a shorter project. My instance only allows up to 10000 characters, and this one's 11802 characters.
@FreakyFwoof Lovely. I cannot attach the project file, it seems. When I do, I get this when I try to send the post. "Failed to upload Bouncing Round the Classroom.txt: ('Mastodon API returned error', 422, 'Unprocessable Content', 'Validation failed: File content type is invalid, File is invalid')"
@batworx Aah yeah you'd have to send a link to a sharing service, that is only for audio/video.
@FreakyFwoof Ah, right. Whoopsy!
@FreakyFwoof Also, in making this project, I noticed that 0 and Ctrl+0, instead of allowing you to insert the dotted version of a note or changing the note at the cursor to a dotted one, they actually make triplets. For example, if your step size is set to quarter (which I think is 480 ticks by default) and you press 0, instead of then letting you insert a note that is 720 ticks (a quarter plus an eighth), it shortens the step to 320 ticks (a quarter note triplet). Was this intentional? If so, could the documentation be updated to reflect this? If not, could this be moved to 9 and Ctrl+9 for doing triplets, and another step size added for 0 and Ctrl+0 that will actually do dotted notes?
@batworx Right you are, will look into that. Makes sense now you say so.
@FreakyFwoof When I manually corrected the note lengths in the text file and reimported it, the speech started identifying them as dotted, so at least that part is working properly.
@batworx You can enter custom note values with the ` and CTRL+` key as well by the way.
@FreakyFwoof Thanks. In all my getting technical about correct note lengths, I somehow missed those.
@batworx It's all good. Until recently we didn't have those keys, nor the ability to do velocity but that is a thing too.
x0@batworx @FreakyFwoof Yup, it's actually multiplying the note length by 2/3, instead of 3/2. I reported this a while ago.
@batworx @FreakyFwoof Try pastebin
@FreakyFwoof @arfy Absolutely!
