EDIT: I think I solved it by checking the "enable note options in piano roll" option in edit-settings-general. I don't know how a person can use the piano roll with it unchecked, maybe I'm missing something, but I don't know why it wouldn't come checked by default. Anyhoo...
Hello and thanks in advance for any assistance. I'm new to LMMS and have a basic question. I started making some music a couple days ago (with absolutely no experience how to even read music, mind you) on a browser-based synthesizer software. You can easily see my music, and more importantly (see below) the software used, here:
http://onlinesequencer.net/585431
After some research I discovered this browser-based software is quite limited so I got LMMS and now I'm trying to bring my song into LMMS. Importing it as a midi file doesn't work for some reason, that's not important since I have to learn how to compose the individual notes so I'll just enter each one manually (there aren't many) and continue from there. The problem is that on the browser-based software, as shown in the above link, there's a vertical keyboard showing the different note rows, and in LMMS' piano roll there's similar note row indication except the note values appear totally different. In LMMS I can only see, for instance, the C notes (between the C notes are presumably the rest, but unmarked). And the amount of notes between, for instance, C5 and C6 on the browser-based software is 13 while on LMMS it's 8 so it's not a direct correspondence.
My question is why are only the C notes indicated in LMMS and why don't the two sets of notes correspond? Keep in mind that I don't know how to read music and I don't know anything about notes or the order in which notes are typically presented. Ideally there would be some way of translating between the two sets of notes so that I can transfer what I've already written. Also I'm trying various soundfonts and I just don't understand why I can't access the same range of notes as I was able to on the apparently inferior web-based software. It seems I don't have access to all the possible notes that LMMS has to offer.
Any help is really appreciated!
