[Auto-save problems]

I did send the bug form to support@opusmodus.com

[Auto-save problems]

Yes, that is the workflow I'm going back to.  I think I'm going to write a script that deletes all autosaves files and then starts opusmodus.

Actually this is happening again a lot.

 

If you choose Yes, Yes, it then goes to file Bug Report, which I just did.

[Auto-save problems]

I concur with the original poster.   It is happening every time I use Opusmodus, and the pop up dialog doesn't work, so you are stuck.  My new workflow before I ever start Opusmodus is to go to Finder, and delete all autosave files.

 

Strange, this seems to be working now properly for me.  I guess I can stop that workflow of deleting the autosave files.

[Tablature (guitar) in Opusmodus ?]

I'm very interested in this!

[chord-dictum question]

Thank you,

 

I hadn't noticed that about length-divide before.  So length-divide is actually divides pitches when applied to omn

 

With the :int parameter set at '(0), is there a way to still allow it to do chord inversions as well, rather than play the exact same chord voicing?  And vary the number of chord tones played?  

[chord-dictum question]

 

(h a2b2e3f3gs3 mf) --> (5h bb2c3f3fs3a3 mf g2a2d3eb3fs3 gs2bb2eb3e3g3 b2cs3fs3g3bb3 bb2c3f3fs3a3)

 

Isn't inversion just changing the bass note and note ordering of the existing notes? How does bb2 and fs3 get introduced?

[chord-dictum question]

In this simple example from the documentation.  The first chord is divided into 5, but why are the pitches for the 2nd through 5th chord division seemingly random?  The dictum states a rule for dividing the chord rhythmically, but has no rules for altering pitches?

 

(setf mat1 '((h a2b2e3f3gs3 mf)
             (h a2b2e3f3gs3 p)
             (q bb4c5gs5a5b5 mp q bb4c5gs5a5b5 p)))

 

(chord-dictum '((:len h :chd 5 :div 5) (:len q :chd 5 :div 4)) mat1)

 

 

[Timeline for upcoming books]

I find even the basic documentation in general gets too complex too quickly with not enough explanation.   I would also like to see a step by step "True Basics" book that is organized in a linear fashion using only what you have been taught previously in the book.

[Timeline for upcoming books]

Will this be an update to Fundamentals including error fixes and version 3 changes?  Or will this be an entirely different book?

[Timeline for upcoming books]

I have read that there are upcoming books to be released, including an updated Fundamentals book.  

 

Is there any time frame on those?

[Guitar chords and picking patterns]

Hello,
I'm on my 30 day free trial and going through the documentation. I'm a guitarist, and I would like to use opusmodus to generate guitar parts, and I need some general direction.

 

My final output will play a virtual guitar which takes input on midi channels 1-6 where each channel is a string.  

 

Given that, I'm thinking in opusmodus, that each string would be a voice.  I can see how to do this just treating each string as a differnt instrument, but I would like to represent a chord as a single unit that I can then repeat, and represents what notes are present on all 6 strings(voices) , or 5 or 4, whatever number the chord has.

 

Then I would like to string these chords together in a progession.  And then apply a picking pattern to the chord.

Any direction would be appreciated.
thanks!
