Yes, I see now that if I judiciously avoid the buttons, it seems to work. I didn't even realize that mousing over other functions was what was causing it to happen. Again, it has bugged me in the past even when I was using 2 hands. I wonder if it's an issue for anyone using one of those trackballs instead of a mouse. It still doesn't make any sense to me why it's made that way, unless it's unintentional or just easier for you (which I can't argue with, it's a free program)... Setting aside the fact that I have a really hard time keeping my mouse in a dead still position, which is obviously my problem and mine alone, I just think it should require you to actually click on something to change the focus, which I believe is standard windows behavior (unless it's the Click to change focus option just not working right?). It just seems counter intuitive, otherwise I would've figured it out on my own. ;) Anyway, thanks for explaining why it was happening. At least now I know how to try to avoid it.

The only reason I mentioned them was because they didn't (I didn't check Bend, maybe that one does) but when I did both types of slides, neither one would let me type until I clicked into the box, and I had just updated to the newest version of EOF, because I didn't wanna be an idiot and asking for something you had already done, due to me using an outdated version.

Thanks for the tip, but it appears I already had that option checked, alas. The reason I don't use F is because, again, there is no button to advance to the next note, and because I lose all the other options I need while placing a note (vibrato, string mute, ignore, link next, etc). shift V I can do 1-handed, but you get the idea. Edit: Would be nice if the cursor popped in for the other boxes too, like Set End Fret, Unpitched Slide, bend, etc. One less extra step. ;)

Not with my left hand, it's not. ;) That's why I wrote the long post, and edited it about 10 times, to make it perfectly clear what I was doing and why I was asking. :P I still think it's a reasonable request, and that the current program behavior is not typical of most programs, or any that I'm aware of. If I click in the search bar at the top of my browser, and then go down and mouse over my clock, the cursor is still flashing in the search bar. Also, that method removes the Next button from the equation, and clicking on each note individually would be a nightmare for keeping track of where I am, because on my screen(s) which are feet away from me, it's very hard to read the note number on the chart.......and the same shortcut that turns on my screen magnifier zooms the chart, so I have to click out of EOF if I want to use it (and even worse, the shortcut that closes the magnifier also tries to close EOF). I have 2 mouse buttons dedicated to the magnifier, 1 to open and 1 to close, in case you're wondering how I hit those shortcuts with one hand. Believe me, I wouldn't be asking if I knew of a better/easier way. I've been at this for nearly 5 years now, and the text input thing has always bothered me, but I just dealt with it because I didn't want to trouble anyone.....but I'm just starting to realize just how much it has been hampering my productivity. It bugs me even when I am using 2 hands. I'm sure it bugs other folks as well, but like I did, they likely just get used to it and just think of it as the price of doing business, so to speak.

Hi all! I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'd like to make a feature request for EOF. Current behavior: When you click on a note and hit N to change the fret number, you have to click in the box to change the fret number, and your mouse pointer has to continue to hover over the text box, otherwise, the cursor disappears and keyboard input does nothing Expected behavior: Once you click into the text box, the cursor should stay there, regardless of mouse position. The problem for me is the way I chart by hand/by ear, I usually have guitar in my lap and a keyboard and mouse on the couch next to me. So with my left hand, I click in the box, and then reach over to the keyboard, and by the time I get there, the mouse has moved slightly and I can't type, and have to go back and mouse over the box again and try to type a 2nd time. It's just super fiddly is all. What I would love to see: When selecting a single note and hitting N (or hitting Next), it would be nice if the cursor was already in the text box, behind the number, ready for backspacing (or in front, for deleting, lol). This may sound stupid, but when I chart by ear, I sync a blank "click track" GP tab to the song in GPA, then I import it into EOF to get the sync. Then, I just go through the track first putting open notes for every note/chord I hear in the song, and then I go back and fill the notes in one at a time, using N or Next, as I check them on the guitar. Then I just copy and paste the repeating parts (I have overwrite on) correcting variations when needed. It's less daunting to me to do it in stages, and I can recheck my note positioning with a fresh perspective as I'm adding the fret numbers in. Does that make sense? Anyway, it would be greatly appreciated and make my hand charting soooo much faster. I have a Tom Waits song that I'm dying to do, but the whole thing is noodling, and I'm dreading the frustration of trying to plug all those notes in, while trying to decipher the notes by ear as I go. the way it's handled currently. Sorry for writing a novel, and thanks! :D

I was just thinking the other day that I knew there was something broken and weird with ignores, but I couldn't remember what. So this issue aside, there is no problem with using ignores (in relation to them messing up scores or the percentage when completing the song)?

That is hilarious, and you are quite welcome! Here's a new L'Arc CDLC, Seventh Heaven! http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/seventh-heaven-r34473 It's a pretty easy one, on guitar, as long you're ok with sliding octaves that span 4 frets. :) :D Thanks everybody!

Yup, that seems to have imported just fine, thanks :D

It's not putting the notes where they should be when I try to import from the GP file directly.

I'm used to it being off sync, that's the known issue with GPA and LAME, isn't it? Normally I just have to drag the first line and line it up with wave, and it syncs perfectly Thanks but I don't quite understand. I have it open in EOF and when I try to import the GP it gives me the same error. And yes, it is a newer GPA and I'm not too impressed with it so far. It's not the newest version, though. They wanted me to pay again for that. I'd tell you what version it is if they didn't hide that info. If you need it, let me know, and I'll go dig up the installer.

What is this about? Never seen this issue before. https://mega.nz/#!l1EUVIDQ!NJHpxOR-pNDGDI06KKqjL_iSYOHlGdi72r06EU9EfVI

Yay! How bad is the note detection with your uke? I got 30% the first time and 9% the 2nd, LOL. Edit: NM, I see in the other thread that everything registered for you. ;)

I dunno! Check it out and let us know. :)

Firekorn helped me figure this out. For G1 C1 E1 A1 you can do +3 -9 -10 -10, and then for frequency do 3520. I can pass tuning with this but have less luck with chord detection. I did do my first ukulele CDLC though! http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/the-loophole-live-ukulele-and-guitar-arrangements-r33648 :D

I tried this and it doesn't work, just FYI. The error is Error: Invalid tuning value (must be between -11 and 11) Will have to try messing with the A440, in the toolkit, like I do for mandolin.

I don't really play at all but my wife has a ukulele that she also doesn't play at all that I installed a pickup in so I was thinking about making a ukulele song. I recently got an acoustic guitar also so I was thinking about doing Garfunkel and Oates' song The Loophole. The Bob's Burgers theme song would be good too. Are you sure nobody's got a new songs on ukulele? I've done a couple on mandolin actually.
