Link Slides GP import bug

[BHMath]

Hi @@raynebc

 

I noticed something strange with link slide from imported gp files.

 

I got this.

but it is imported as

I thought it would be imported as

or at least

Can you confirm me that this is actually a bug and if so can you correct it ?

I'd need the GP file to test with.

All files are mported the same. I mean I notice that on The Gallery from Muse and for the need of this example I created a flat file with only this 4 beats.

 

Here the file http://www.mediafire.com/download/q1j4xbasumbi48h/Jazz+Guitar.gp5

I took a look at it.  It's authored as a set of legato slides, so it doesn't surprise me that EOF would have removed the note that follows the slide.  This was behavior that was programmed before the linknext status was implemented in EOF.  I agree with you that it's probably more accurate for it to keep the note and mark the previous note (the one with the slide status) with linknext status.  I'll work on adding this change.

I've made the change and it now imports identically as your expected screencap.

Perfect ! Thank you so much !

Tested with one of my tabs and it doing things wrong, it's applied link next for each slide without reason, It should be applied for slide with tied notes(legatto slide), not for the regular one (shift slide), and other slides should be unpitched one, can we hande it?

I can't reproduce that.  When I import a GP file, it only applies linknext to legato slide, but not on shift slide notes.  If you have a GP file that imports differently, please send me the file.

Gp3/gp4 files author slides with a different numbering system, so I've corrected that and all slide types (legato, slide, slide in from below/above, slide out from below/above) should now import correctly.
