Could labels for MIDI drum notes in Piano Roll be added into LMMS? A user would be able to replace the usual note labels in piano roll with the supposed labels, such as via a checkbox next to key and scale highlighting.

As far as I checked, note numbers for MIDI drums are standardized. Of course, a soundfont author doesn't have to adhere to the standard.

Or is there already a way to display them? I think I looked through all of LMMS but didn't find that. (I use LMMS built almost from latest Git commit.)

I believe what you are requesting has been asked before in #6162?

I believe this is a piece of tech that actually exists and is called MIDNAM

We should definitely add a note name interface for Instrument plugins at some point. I looked into the issue a bit here: #7648

I know there is at least some demand for what legacysebb does now but in a formalized manner as a specific feature.

I have a list of features I'd like to add, I could consider a new convention for note names?

#

Maybe an XML file you import and we add a "notenames" field to tracks? Shouldn't be too difficult

This would need the optional ability to recur, and potentially a few pre-included standard mappings for other notation systems and the GM standard drumset percussions

Customizability, maybe?

#

Someone has a Slicer drum preset they like and want D#5 renamed to "Punchy Snare" or something

#

That's my immediate first though, but I'm totally open to suggestions

I guess I can understand the benefit of being able to load a list of note names from a file. As long as those custom note names get embedded in the project file when the project is saved rather than remaining in the separate file, that sounds alright to me

Right, right, I was thinking that, but I'm afraid we might be bloating the project size

We'd have to figure out which note name we end up displaying, since we have a few different sources of note names:

  • Default note names
  • Microtuner keymap stuff? (not really familiar with this tbh)
  • Plugin-provided (VST2 API for MIDI key names, CLAP note-name extension, etc.)
  • Custom note names entered by the user or loaded from a file

I'm not completely certain as I'm not familiar with the codebase.

Thank you for reminding me about it. I must note that I have ethical concerns about using GitHub and that is the only reason why I posted it here.
