gateTime still tweakable?

[Nathan Hale]

Hi all,

I saved a new MuseScore document today and after opening the archive
manually, I found that it was saved in mscx by default as opposed to
msc. This normally wouldn't matter to me at except that I couldn't
find the gateTime parameter to tweak in the mscx. I would have tried
to save as msc, however in latest from PPA the save-as functionality
is broken. I was wondering if there's another way to tweak the
gateTime?

Also, is there a way we could offer a deb download of the latest
stable release from the website? I'm very grateful to Toby for
maintaining the PPA with bleeding-edge versions, but it would also be
nice to be able to easily install just the latest stable build.

Do you mean an identical replica of the current Debian unstable
package (which always reflects the most up-to-date stable release),
built for various distribution releases? That's easily done, I'm sure;
I don't mind providing another PPA, nor do I mind building the
packages locally for upload without the repository infrastructure.

Yes, this is what I mind. I'm thinking that sometimes the version
included with a distribution might be older than the latest stable,
and the testing PPA might be too unstable for some people.

Thanks again, Toby.

The "msc" file extension has been depreciated in favor of "mscx" since
"msc" conflicts with a type of system file on Windows. This is unrelated
to the issue at hand.

You can hack the source file. Look for the Style tag and add the custom
gateTime tags inside it like so:

  <Style>
    <gateTime>85</gateTime>
    <staccatoGateTime>50</staccatoGateTime>
    <slurGateTime>100</slurGateTime>
    </Style>

I noticed that only gate times with customized values remain in the
Style tag. If you use any of the default gate times (shown above) then
the tag is no longer needed by MuseScore and it is removed.
