Hey all, thank you for this wonderful ressource.

 

I'm working on a CDLC right now and it went pretty well so far until I noticed that the tab import went screwy at some point. It worked perfectly for 5 minutes, but unfortunately it's a long song, so there are 4 more to consider T_T

 

I guess I'll show the passages that are making problems. The tab is correct, GP plays along the song perfectly.

The problem is beat 53. 

 

There is how it gets transfered into EoF:

The notes are spaced way too far apart. This gets originally imported as 7/8 like the tab says, it says 14/16 because I thought it might have been the same problem as from this thread: http://customsforge.com/topic/14112-bpm-change-from-gpro-tab-to-eof/

 

But despite the program displaying 14/16 that passage plays just as fast as with 7/8 and the notes are still super far apart. If I double bpm 

 

How can I fix this?

 

Thanks in advance.

EOF doesn't change the length of beats based on time signature changes, you'd need to alter the beat map. Going from #/4 to #/8 should be as simple as selecting the beat at which the 7/8 time signature starts and using the "Beat>Double BPM" function. This works because the time signature change is saying that instead of a quarter note being one beat long, an eighth note is now one beat long (twice as fast). Then when the time signature changes back to 4/4, select the beat where that change occurs and use the "Beat>Halve BPM" function to reflect the change. Doubling the time signature (to 14/16) would have no effect on timing but would instead just change the beat/measure numbering in EOF.

Thank you, I figured it out.

 

With the half/double bpm options it doesn't seem to adjust the notes along with the beat. But if I go to the change bpm menu and type it in manually it works.

 

Thanks again!

I haven't used those functions in a long time so I'd forgotten they don't "auto adjust" the notes in the way the change BPM function does. They were added as a quick and easy way to alter tempo while leaving notes where they are, because Rock Band has restrictions about what tempo speeds can be used.
