to recreate this:
start renoise
go in record mode
press the insert key
scroll down in the pattern with mouse or arrow keys
Result:
You can notice the counter, that shows the current runtime of the song doesn’t count.
also if it’s counting down to the end of the song.
Hey,
yes, that happens in editmode, cause then the playback position will not move with the cursor. Note the green line in the pattern which does not move along with the cursor.
We had to do this to avoid troubles with automation following, which else would go on your nerves when editing, inserting automation values. As soon as you hit play or hit enter or disable edit mode, it should update the playback time as well.
Not really a big thing?
It was a bit annoying while placing samples on certain timings.
But I’ll just get a bit less lazy and exit edit mode to update the timer.
After your explanation, I think, the way it works right now, is the most logic way.
