Hey, thanks. I take it as a nice ‘you read my mind’ type complement.
Because, like I mentioned, I probably wouldn’t have come up with this idea myself.
(1) In the “Enter name of phrase field”: Allow the auto-complete/search to be optionally checkboxed for becoming hidden and disabled, only allowing for the precise manual text input + Return.
Not sure I get the advantage of having to type the entire name. I mean, you can do that anyway, usually it’s just not required?
(2) In the “Mode” pull-down menu: Allow for a new option - Insert at pattern editor cursor. Meaning a one shot (1X times) writing at the current editor cursor position in the pattern editor. Would speed up things in the workflow quite a lot.
Yes, absolutely - this was on the TODO list, just didn’t make it.
Actually I intended it as a switch, “relative to cursor position” or something like that. But now I can see that it might be better to have it as a separate mode. Because, then it can be accessed with keyboard shortcuts and via the smart-write dialog.
Another way to speed up the workflow would be if the dialog has a checkbox which, when enabled, would let you apply the phrase as soon as you make a match by typing and hitting return.
If I select part of a pattern and choose “Create phrase from selection” I get: “main.lua:148: variable ‘INPUT_SCOPE’ is not declared” and no phrase is created.
If I open the settings window and choose “Selection in pattern” and then click “Collect phrases” it shows the error: “./source/PhraseMateUI.lua:658: attempt to call method ‘invoke_task’ (a nil value)” and successfully creates the phrase.
Just wanted to report a script error message that I get.:
When I select content in the pattern and select “create phrase from selection” in the context menu to collect the content, I get this following error script message (input scope not declared) on the version 1.71
main.lua:148: variable ‘INPUT_SCOPE’ is not declared

Looking good! Collecting phrases from the pattern editor still seems to have trouble… I tried it once with using the window, with “Replace notes with Zxx” enabled. It collected the phrases, but cleared the pattern editor – no Zxx command. Then when I tried using the “create phrase from selection” context menu item, it collects the phrase but doesn’t change the pattern at all.
Collecting phrases from the pattern matrix and replacing them with Zxx works great though!
FIXME Mappings, menu items not working when app not yet initialized (dialog shown)
FIXME Missing “finalize action” for some scopes (replace with Zxx)
FIXME A few missing guards (GUI-less operation)
I might be being really thick here - but I’d simply love to render a sliced break to a phrase to keep the timing intact at my chosen tempo - then be able to copy the phrase into the main pattern window…
Please could someone walk me through the steps? Or, I might just need to man up and need more coffee / sleep.

currently trying to wrap my brain again around that scaling feature for phrases: I would like to actually see the “re-scaled” notes directly in the pattern. So I put a single c-4 into the phrase to be able to use the scales. But now I would like to “render” that note patches directly into the front pattern (so I later can deactivate the scale and it still sounds the same)… Is that possible with this tool, and if not, is there already a way to do that? So destructive renoise scaling to pattern-track. Thanks!
EDIT: Could I use “xScale.restrict_to_scale(note_value,scale_idx_or_name,scale_key)” from xLib?
Yes, that would be it. It’s a planned feature cough -I’m quite busy these days, wouldn’t have time to do it myself.
But all the fundamentals should be in place…and if you’re planning to go ahead with this, I would be happy to help…
Thanks, added this now in a lame way into tuned shortcuts, line 1025++. Currently does not render any phrase notes into the front track, so only works for fake “C-4” phrases.
Looking forward seeing this within this tool
EDIT: Also something fishy is going on, the result after rendering phrase + disabling the phase still does not seem to be identical, e.g. an instrument (with fake c-4 phrase) playing a C#6, applied with scale key G and scale “pentatonic major” will result in a C-6, but should be a B-5.
