score2roll and pitches

[Julien_Vincenot]

Hi there,

I have the impression that bach.score2roll and more specifically the score2roll message to bach.score outputs only midicents but don't have knowledge about pitches, is that correct?

(I was trying to convert a bach.score into a bach.roll for segmentation, for some reason dada.segment misses a bunch of markers, that's for another day ... )

For now I can live with the respell message on the resulting roll, but perhaps some option to be able to carry pitches would be a good idea?

Cheers,

Julien

Hey, you're right, this is a quirk. I'll fix this.
But I have a nice workaround for the time being: set @outputpitchesplayout 2 (= Always) and it should work

[Julien_Vincenot]

Thanks !

Actually I already tried @outputpitchesplayout,
but then I noticed if you use the "dump" message instead of "score2roll",
inside bach.score2roll there's a gate passing through another bach.roll with score2roll message
so the pitches get lost there again

Yeh, that is true. You can set the attribute in the inner roll manually if you want, changing the abstraction.
In any case, it's fixed for the next Patreon release.
