What convention do you use for naming your patterns. I’m doing this survey to see if there are better ways than mine and possibly making a tool for faster naming.
I’m naming mine like this:
Intro .1
intro .2
Verse 1.1
Verse 1.2
Verse 1.3
Verse 1.4
Chorus 1.1
Chorus 1.2
Chorus 1.3
Chorus 1.4
Verse 2.1
Verse 2.2
Verse 2.3
Verse 2.4
Chorus 2.1
Chorus 2.2
Chorus 2.3
Chorus 2.4

if i used pattern names, i do it like esaruoho, because i don’t really work with classic song structure (the chorus-verse-bridge kind).
most of the time, i don’t use pattern names.
one other situation:
all patterns are 128 steps, but i have a couple, transition-like patterns which are of a different length. i will sometimes just give them a pattern name so i don’t try and copy and re-use such a pattern and am temporarily disoriented because i expect the pattern to be 128 steps.
i use names of colours (=
The last song I finished had:
joey lawrence
is in my dryer
woah!
Obviously some blank space in between. I use [Song Settings -> Highlight every XX blocks] in combination with text.
Thanks guys. I’ll make a tool that will fill in the names in a selected sequence quickly by the following patterns (auto detected), maintaining the beginning of the name:
Any more patterns to consider?
a, b, c… ?
