but more importantly:
when you set it to Auto: it moves to the end (this is wrong)
when you set it to 1: it moves 1 bar (this is ok, except i dont want to color each bar with the dark highligt!)
when you set it to 4: it moves to the end (this is wrong, it should still move 1 bar.)
in fact it shoud ALWAYS move 1 bar, regardless of what you set in bar because the bar setting should only affect the visuals imho. Or you should provide 2 settings, one for visuals and one for page-up/down behaviour.
I have no idea how the bar dropdown could be empty. It should always be set to auto if no value was selected.
I add some extra checks to be sure this can't append.
The value is saved with the song and read from it.
With the original Pattern XP, pgup/down move 4 bars each time, no matter what the measure is (dark highlight).
I have changed this to move according to the number of bars in a measure.
I can add a parameter to disable this functionnality. But do you want it to work as before (4*bar) or only 1 bar ?
Anyway, I still can't reproduce the problem of moving to the end / beginning of the pattern with Pgup/down.
Would it be that your pattern is only 4 bars long ?
EDIT: sorry i mixed up beats and bars! But my point still stands:
EDIT2: i realize buzz never had this feature, but its a no-brainer to add it and i've wanted this for years (and lots of other trackers have it).
1) open buzz
2) add matilde
3) go to pxp
4) set bar to 1, press page-down -> it moves 1 beat (4 ticks): OK
5) set bar to 2, press page-down -> it moves 2 beat (8 ticks): wrong, should be 1 beat (4 ticks)
6) set bar to 4, press page-down -> it moves 4 beat (16 ticks): wrong, should be 1 beat (4 ticks)
what i'm getting at is: it should always move 1 beat (4 ticks) no matter what "Bar" Dropdown is set to, because i don't want the visuals to dictate how much my cursor moves. The best idea would be to have 2 Dropdowns, one for the visual highligting of dark and lighter rows (the current dropdown) and another dropdown to select the "step size" of page-down (lets say in beats or ticks). Right now i have to set it to 1 Bar to get the behaviour i want, but i DON'T want the visuals that go along with it (all beat-rows are dark then, this is not how i want it to look).
The standard PXP in default mode has 4 beat-rows, 1 of which is dark, and 3 of which are light. Lets say i want to move 4 Ticks (1 beat) when you press page-down. You cannot get this behaviour with the mod currently (unless you set BAR to 1, but then the visuals are not how i like it). Adding a second dropdown would create the freedom to decouple visuals from cursor movement.
tl;dr: highlighting and cursor movement should be decoupled and individual settings (with maybe an option to couple them, like currently).
this makes people (especially unz)
