Row Highlighting Every 16 And 4 Rows

Hi guys!

Coming from Impulse Tracker, I’m quite used to the row highlighting scheme that IT uses. With rows highlighted every 4 rows, and then also a different colour for the 16th row. That way it’s way easier to distinguish which beat are you in.

I have been looking at the song and GUI settings in Renoise and haven’t been able to find a way of selecting the “major row” highlighting option. Is this possible or should I beg for this to be in a future version of Renoise? :)

Good idea.

Highlight every [x] rows
Highlight every [x] highlights

Oh I see you’re in London too :slight_smile:

By the way, found an screenshot to show what I meant - An image is always worth 1000 words!

So I take this feature doesn’t exist yet in Renoise.

_this is what i do to keep track of row highlights
_though i do not use the highlight feature, i instead, have a separate track to keep tabs of meters & pulse types
_this track also acts as a metronome
_i hope the image translates well to your needs

This is helpful too, in understanding how tempo and speed changes the perception of meter and row highlights

Speed 6:
1 bar = 16 lines
1/16th = 1 line
1/8th = 2 lines

Speed 3:
1 bar = 32 lines
1/16th = 2 lines
1/8th = 4 lines

Speed 1:
1 bar = 96 lines
1/16th = 6 lines
1/8th = 12 lines

Speed 2:
1 bar = 48 lines
1/16th = 3 lines
1/8th = 6 lines

Speed 12:
1 bar = 6 lines
1/16th = 1/2 line
1/8th = 1 line
