Hello, I ran into this kind of issue as well and I confirm this is happening with ardour-6.0.rc1.95 build: Selected notes from other regions stay selected even if you click empty space which usually should deselect everything but it doesn't deselect notes from another region. One slightly faster mitigation for this is hitting ESC as seems to always deselect everything without having to switch modes. |
|

As far as I can tell pressing ESC only deselect the notes if you are still on the edit more or with the regions with issues selected.. I selected some notes from some regions, pressing ESC works, but if after selecting the notes I click a blank space on the playlist for deselecting the MIDI regions , pressing ESC seems not to deselect the MIDI notes Only if I get back to edit mode and press ESC that'll work as the regions with the incorrectly selected notes get selected and then the notes deselected Another way is to go into grab mode and select the regions with issues and press ESC, deselecting only the notes from the selected regions Oh wow that was a lot of "select" and "deselect" words in there lol hopefully it wasn't too confusing |

Should be fixed in master now, though I don't have a good track record for testing this sort of thing. Let me know! |

paul, these commits did fixed the original problems (notes not being deselected) but brought some new issues: First, it's somewhat annoying when my mouse leaves the midi region, the notes I selected visually seem deselected, they're only shown selected when the mouse enters again inside the region while the edit mode is still turned on. I think keeping them visually and internally selected like the old way fits better (this might be a side effect of the new code as well as the next paragraph?) Secondly (and weirdly to explain), whenever I make my first selection inside a midi region while I still can shift+click+drag to select more notes I can't click+drag to select a new note group, I have to click a blank spot OUTSIDE the region (probably do some action that unblocks this region? like changing to the grab mode and coming back to the edit mode as that "resets the region" and let me select a new note group). |
|

(Been into a session less than 5 minutes in and sorry didn't notice at first) about the first issue I talked about, it's half true: the notes seem deselected when the mouse leaves the midi region but when I zoom in / out they are updated and visually shown selected, but still can't make new selections after zooming in / out, I have to "reset" the region by doing some other action outside it or changing modes and going back |

will fix those. I understand the problem. when the mouse leaves a MidiRegion while in internal edit mode, we change the display of the region to indicate that it's no longer editable, but that's no longer true. |

Hey, looks like this is 90% fixed (thanks paul !!), just pulled master (currently commit 11ec81f) and MIDI editing is totally usable now but a single caveat (that is not as annoying as the other ones, can live with but better be fixed): When a MIDI note is selected (single or group) and I and click a empty spot on the playlist while still in edit mode, those notes get internally... locked(?) and deselected(?) but visually they are selected and I can't resize them. In other words, clicking blank spot on playlist locks the previous selected notes from being resized while still being visually selected, have to deselect all or select them again for resizing individually or by group. Sorry if I'm being a bit annoying but I guess this helps with the progress and usability of Ardour6 :) |

I'll test this as soon as the official pre release nightly build featuring this is out. As a side mention one thing which bothers me related to this is that I really can't from the UI if notes are selected or not. I'm not sure if this is a bug or something else yet. |
|
|
Confirmed: The note selection not being visible for me was just matter of the selected note border color. Setting it less saturated color between red and white cured that problem. |
|
|
Yet adding one more detail to last one (sorry, haven't found edit here) if the note body color is also supposed to change when selected that doesn't happen currently at all. |
|
|
Selection status is only indicated by the outline at present. |

as of 505bd41ad47 i declare this one resolved ! let me know :) |

One single last quirk (I really tryharded to break this): Selecting some notes from a midi region A and drawing a new note onto another region / drawing a new midi region with draw mode does not visually deselect the old notes and the behavior is well defined if I draw a new note in another region: 1. If I don't exit edit mode only the new drawn notes will be resized even if I click to resize the old ones 2. If i switch to grab mode and come back into edit mode, all notes (old + new) will be resized which goes onto the original problem This also happens if I do the following: select notes from region A, go onto draw mode and click another region's note, this also keeps both selected as if I had created a new note like the previous steps. I can virtually have infinite notes selected wrong if I keep drawing new regions / drawing new notes. All of this doesn't happen if I'm only tinkering with a single midi region, only happens when 2+ regions are involved. If I'd guess deselecting all notes when entering draw mode (worse) or deselecting all previous notes but the new drawn / clicked note (better) will fix this :) paul, don't kill me /s |

I tried really really really really hard to break this and I could only find one more issue that might be the last one to completely fix this issue (hopefully) LOL, though midi editing was really smooth (disclaimer, this shouldn't really happen too often on a casual session with midi editing, it's very very specific the actions) 1. Create two midi regions 2. Enter in draw mode, draw each region a note 3. On the region you last drew a note, draw another note 4. Enter edit mode and select the other region note 5. Press Ctrl + Z Both notes will be selected and yet again only one will be resized correctly if still in edit mode while switching to grab mode and edit mode will make both be resized altogether In my opinion where this could go wrong is when composing music and moving from midi track to another like editing drums + bass I can't really guess on what's going on though it looks like the undo function isn't deselecting the last note when another were deleted? There can be other issues on the undo function regarding this as well (?) I'd consider the original issue fixed, though if this very specific yet another quirk gets a workaround or a fix other stuff can potentially break?? << this is my fear, reporting in yet again Anyways, feel free to give that edge case a try or closing this issue :) Thanks paul !! |
