SCORDATURA Report History


Type Reported Platform Description Response Status
BugFeb.2010Mac

Control Surface polygons go black and stay black when I play keys on my keyboard. I can only play each key once, then the polygons don't respond.

I can't reproduce this, but it is apparently related to active sensing keyboards that send running status note messages.

RequestJan.2010Mac

Can you make it save and recall window positions please?

Yes, the next major version will save and recall the entire user state.

RequestJan.2010Mac

I would like to put tuning files in subfolders inside the Tuning Tables csv folder.

Yes; this was a bit complicated because of how tuning files were previously referenced, but a useful feature and well worth the trouble to add it. Thank you for requesting it.

Added 1.0.7

BugJan.2010Mac

In long sustained notes, some soundfonts have clearly audible pitch drifting. There is a point where the sample just bends out of tune.

This will happen for soundfonts that are not recorded at 44.1 Khz and 16-bit in mono. Apple's CoreAudio DLSMusicDevice object requires that its soundfont samples be exactly and only this format: 44.1 Khz 16-bit mono sound files. If a different sampling rate is used, this results in the pitch shifting, due to incorrect sample offsets in the looping portion of the data. I'm looking into an alternate sound engine for a future version of Scoratura which will not have this limitation.

BugDec.2009Mac

After buying the license and entering the codes, the software came up with the demo window again.

OK, I found where that could happen in the same session where you register, before you have quit and opened it again after registering. For now just quit and reboot the software; then the demo window will be gone.

Fixed 1.0.7

BugDec.2009Mac

It crashes when I try to add a tuning trigger.

BugMar.2009Mac

It isn't working with Finale 2008

The MIDI Setup window in Finale 2008 is not the same as the one in Finale 2009, which is shown in the setup page. Instead of a drop-down window for Playback Device to you have to go to MIDI / Audio > Internal Speaker Playback and set it to Off.

Could cents values offset from 12ET be shown in the control surface window for keys played?

I have posted this topic as a forum entry. I went ahead with MegaScore notation.

RequestDec.2008Mac

How about displaying the loaded tuning table contents when the table name is double-clicked?

A good idea. See the new Tuning Table window.

Added 0.1.0

BugDec.2008Mac

I assigned a Tuning Table Trigger and it crashed. Not sure what I did.

Found it. It was allowing assigning Nil (not loaded) tables to Triggers. It is unlikely this would happen normally, but I will supress the Trigger window from opening unless at least one table is loaded.

Fixed 0.0.2

BugDec.2008Mac

It crashes when I select the Sample set SCORDATURA Output 0 in a MultiSynth.

Confirmed. MultiSynth patches are not in sync with the Sample set!

I'm unable to locate documentation

Documentation is integrated in HTML files within the application, viewed using the Help menu or clicking on the (?) icons in each window. You can also open help files in a browser by opening them from:

HD > Users > Username > Library > Prefereneces > H-Pi Instruments > SCORDATURA > HTML Help

Drag and drop any of those html files into your browser and you can navigate the help without having SCORDATURA open. Hope that helps!
