Popup Scrollbar Concept Demo

It has been a while since I came up with the original concept which proved to be hard to get across. But now there’s a Python-GTK demo, a GTK feature request and a narrated video

Ardour Scroomer 4

Audun continues his excellent work on the scroomer and piano bar. Not much left for me to do, but here are 2 additional ideas that might fall into the too-much department

Indicating notes as they are played on the piano bar. The buttons are clickable and have a pressed look, but it’s better to have arriving notes be displayed differently. Velocity can be shown as bars taking a percentage of the keys. Perhaps even with colours like on gain meters.

Rows that contain notes could be marked on the scroomer to make it obvious where the range or ranges of interest are.

Sweep Scrollbar

There’s a development version of Sweep with a waveform view on the scrollbar.

I think the gaps around the canvas could be removed to clean things up a bit. The connection between the main view and the throbber could be emphasized. Mockup:
