Package: rosegarden Version: 1:16.06-1+b1 After opening or importing some midi files, if there are tracks with notes that span barlines (e.g. a half-note on beat 4 of a 4/4 bar), selecting the note(s) and executing the command: Adjust -> Notes -> Tie Notes at Barlines has no effect.
It is expected that the note would be split into shorter, tied notes, in accordance with the documentation (e.g. two tied quarter-notes in the example above; see "Splitting very long notes" at https://rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/doc:notation-en). Interestingly, if the long note is deleted and a note of equal duration is inserted in place of it, the inserted note can then be split properly using "Tie Notes at Barlines". Example MIDI files that exhibit this bug (look for red barlines, indicating an improper number of beats in the bar): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a0/Bass_sample.mid http://scores.ccarh.org/corelli/op2/corelli-op2n01-1.mid (see tracks 5 and 6), https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ImagefromIndex/186184 This bug was not present in Rosegarden 14.02, but is present in Rosegarden 15.10 in other distributions (as well as 16.06, of course in Debian). Sometimes it appears that "Fix Note Quantization" fixes the notation (many red bar lines disappear), but it actually shortens the notes spanning the barlines to do this, instead of adding ties across barlines and preserving the correct note durations. The change that caused this bug may be in the makeThisNoteViable function of src/base/SegmentNotationHelper.cpp, where similar bugs have been caused in the past. Thanks for your attention in fixing this.
