Recently I've been doing a lot of using EOF and the toolkit to transcribe bass arrangements in exotic tunings (Drop C, Eb Drop Db, C# Standard, etc.) into B Standard for use on a 5 string bass. This generally works well. Open up the audio in EOF, import the Rocksmith arrangement, change the tuning, and EOF gives the option to automatically transcribe notes. That works great for many songs, but it always tries to keep notes on the same string. Sometimes, that makes chords/double stops impossible (without tapping I guess) due to the gap between frets getting too large, or can make sequential notes where you play an open string followed by something high up the fretboard difficult, because, say, an open C requires first fret when the tuning is changed to B. So, something like 0 0 12 0 0 12 on the low C in Drop C turn into 1 1 13 1 1 13, which can be hard to shift in a quick tempo song. But if that 13 on C was transcribed to the 3rd fret of A, it would be easy again. So, what I'm wondering is if there is any way to select all notes of a given pitch, or all notes on a specific fret number on a specific string. Using the example above, lets say that I want to turn every note on fret 13 of B into fret 3 on A. Right now, I'm scrolling through the whole song and control-clicking every instance of notes at the 13th fret, then using the Note window to change them up. That works, but it would be a lot faster if I could automatically select ALL the notes at that position (and/or pitch). Is there a way to do that that I am missing? If not, would it be possible to add the feature? ...One more semi-related thing I've noticed is that the EOF options for "transcribe up" and "transcribe down" don't actually keep the pitch of the note the same -- they just move it to the same fret on a higher or lower string. It would be nice if a variant of that actually transcribed the note while maintaining pitch. It could warn you if it was impossible to keep that pitch on the string you are trying to transpose to.

I reworked the F1 - Shortcut Keys to add "Quertz" shortcuts. I gathered ALL shortcuts, categorized to their usability. You may replace the "keys.txt" in the EOF folder with this "EOF keys.txt", to make it appear with F1 Or you may use and edit it as a standalone file, and give me recommendations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I did this because I was anxious about what happened when I worked in EOF these last days. (Win 8.1 made an update without my consent) I felt like in the Twilight Zone :wacko: . First : the crtl shift buttons remained selected after I released them (Info Panel). Impossible to work like that. I re-installed EOF, with default preferences : no change. Solution found : Seems like EOF must now be run as administrator to avoid this. edit : run as administrator was not a final solution. "Make the keyboard easier to use" (ease of access center). Windows update somehow turned on "Toggle keys by holding down NUM Lock for 5 seconds) seems the solution Second : I could not enter a note higher than 19. Not with the Keyboard (ctrl+F9 -F12), not with the mouse wheel. A higher number in the note window changed to a muted note ! Solution found: set the fret limit in "Track>Pro guitar>Set number of frets/strings" (problem caused when I re-installed EOF) Seeking for solutions, I found more : My middle mouse button now works to open the note window (shortcut N) (in the Logitech setpoint tool, I set it to "generic Button")
