Here's a link to an interesting app http://manytricks.com/keymo/
It basically allows you to control and move the mouse. Now this is not an end to itself as there are tweakings and probably some sighted assistance necessary at in the first phase , but provided that one is good enough at figuring a matrix or at least screen boundaries for various elements, this might do the trick for score editing. I've been using a terminal command called click where flags like -x and -y allow you to move the mouse to a specific location on the screen and make a click, I use it to load presets on vst and au plugins which don't have default presets available in the garage band pull down menu. It basically allows me to load presets on inaccessible plugins. I could have ventured further but figuring all the locations of the plugin and compiling all the scripts for each location, then binding them to track pad / numpad/key commander is a chore i just don't have time to indulge in. However, This little app can take it a step further by specifying divisions on the screen for a given plugin or a score table. The procedure seems simpler on a score table as all notes are equally distanced. Plugins with various elements on the screen might be trickier, but if there's a way to place the mouse to a given location via the click terminal command, which itself can be assigned to a shortcut script with either trackpad numpad or key commander, and the script tells you where you are with the say applescript command, there can be quite some possibilities in garage band. Take the note editor. If you know where channel 1's first note is, then you ask someone to locate the second note and take the x y coordinates, just substract the second pos to the first one, and you got division distances that can be set in keymo the application i'm talking about. Add to it an applescript to say left or right, or don't but each time you do step one division, you can click the mouse with keymo, and score sheets are an on/off affair, so it's absolute 2 states easy to configure afterwards in the editor for pan, attack, etc. This might really enhance our garage band experience until they release a version with accessible score sheets. On second notice, this technique can also be used for dragging samples from finder to the garage band virtual keyboard for mapping samples with lion's new drag and drop feature.. If anyone's interested in figuring it out with me, let me know off list Thanks, and best Yuma -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
