How to make Playback automatically reset transport to start at patch change?

I am working with some stage tracks in MainStage. We currently use Digital Performer and are wanting to move over to Apple.
I want to be able to know that whenever I open a patch in my set that it will always recall the transport position to start. I know that I can do this within the Playback plugin and change the "Play From" parameter to "Start". However, when we are rehearsing, I want to be able to always start from wherever we are in the song. For example, I want to still be able to start at Chorus 2 - I don't want it to always begin playing from the start.
However, I want to reiterate my point: When I move from patch to patch, I want it always cued to the start of the track. Is this possible?
One last thing, is there a way for me to choose a particular measure that I want the track to start playing back at for rehearsal purposes? For example, maybe I don't want to play the whole Chorus 2 which starts at measure 40, maybe I want to just start in the middle at measure 47? How do I control that?
If you need any clarity on my question, please let me know?
As of now, I am just not clearly seeing MainStage as a viable alternative to Digital Performer.
Thanks,
- John

Greetings fellow DP user!!
The good news is, you can do ALL of this.
Not sure if you have experimented with "play from relative position"
I highly recommend you try this out. As long as you are following a click of sorts, MS "transport" is still in play mode the PB will continue according to how many bars you are ahead in the song.
Also, in any Wave/AIFF you load into the Playback, you can place MARKERS.
You can set the PB to always start at a certain marker, and also, to skip ahead and back between those markers.
To make markers, you can use Quicktime, Peak, Apple Loop Utility, Logic and most likely DP.
Once those markers are embedded into the file, you can assign a MIDI command, or a keyboard command to skip ahead and back.
Playback not playing back from the start: Say what?!
I have a sneaking suspicion that part of your issue might be that you are incorrectly using the "Set" and "Patch" in the MS heirchy.
If you put a PB into a "Set" and select "Play from Start" it will do this.
It is an easy mistake to make: every set needs a patch, so you accidentally go into the patch and make adjustments, not realizing that ALL adjustments must be made from a "SET".
It's only a guess, but its the only reason I can think of as to why your songs/loops are not starting from the beginning.
Keep me posted, and let me know how it works.
I do this all the time, and never have this problem.

How to make an entry in transport tab of business system in SLD

Hi gurus,
In PI, in SLD we maintain Business systems. In this business sytem if we go to have a detail look there is a Transport tab.
What is this used for and how to make an entry here.
I'm a basis person and i'm configuring XI for the first time. Kindly help.
Regards,
Priya

1. Yes , you have to maintain target business system for the EACH BS in PROD system.
2. Normally we do have 2 different sld one is explictly for production system. another one is for dev and QA system. Once u done creating all the systems needed for the project. we will copy all business from the dev server to production server. So production server will have all BS from Dev and BS of production server.
3. i am not sure about this. i dont have particular docuemnts . normally we assign target business system in transport tab. and in Intergration Directory we will export the business system from DEV and and import the business system in production system.

Balaji

How to make Finder automatically go to the foremost open window?

I hope I'm explaining this clearly.
Suddenly, when I click on the Finder from the Dock, it does not go to the last open window. I have to go to the Windows menu and select it, or click and wait on the Finder icon in the dock for it to open. I usually have a lot of apps open so when I go to Finder it's to do some file management - and the extra step of having to bring the last open window to the forefront is annoying me!
Does anyone know how to make the Finder automatically come to the forefront (with the windows) from click in the Dock? I swear my mac always did that before but now it's stopped!

can anyone help me here?

How to make view automatically scroll when keyboard show up

Hi all
I'm like a totally noob for objective-c coding, let alone the iPhone programing. :P
Anyway, I somehow manage to create a simple application that receive input via UITextField, do some simple math, then display the result in other UITextFields (which can act as a input vice versa).
Problem is, when I use the UITextField at the buttom of the screen as an input, the keyboard will block that text field out of my view, so I could not see what I'm typing at all.
That's the question. How to make my view scrollable, and make it simply scroll itself out of the way when the keyboard is shown? I already inherit my view from UIScrollView, but don't know what to do next. Can you guys help enlighten me, please?
Thanx

Of course, if you're dealing with textFields, you should change a few things try something like that in your .m file :
- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)theTextField
if ([theTextField isEqual:yourTextField])
// Restore the position of the main view if it was animated to make room for the keyboard.
if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
[self setViewMovedUp:YES];
// Animate the entire view up or down, to prevent the keyboard from covering the author field.
- (void)setViewMovedUp:(BOOL)movedUp
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3];
// Make changes to the view's frame inside the animation block. They will be animated instead
// of taking place immediately.
CGRect rect = self.view.frame;
if (movedUp)
// If moving up, not only decrease the origin but increase the height so the view
// covers the entire screen behind the keyboard.
rect.origin.y -= kOFFSETFORKEYBOARD;
rect.size.height += kOFFSETFORKEYBOARD;
else
// If moving down, not only increase the origin but decrease the height.
rect.origin.y += kOFFSETFORKEYBOARD;
rect.size.height -= kOFFSETFORKEYBOARD;
self.view.frame = rect;
[UIView commitAnimations];
- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)notif
// The keyboard will be shown. If the user is editing the author, adjust the display so that the
// author field will not be covered by the keyboard.
if ([yourTextField isFirstResponder] && self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
[self setViewMovedUp:YES];
else if (![yourTextField isFirstResponder] && self.view.frame.origin.y < 0)
[self setViewMovedUp:NO];
#pragma mark - UIViewController delegate methods
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
// watch the keyboard so we can adjust the user interface if necessary.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillShow:)
name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:self.view.window];
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
[self setEditing:NO animated:YES];
// unregister for keyboard notifications while not visible.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
be sure to invoke the method when you dismiss the keyboard, so that the view "falls back" to its normal state:
if (self.view.frame.origin.y < 0)
[self setViewMovedUp:NO];
Of course, declare the method
(void)setViewMovedUp:(BOOL)movedUp;
in the .h file
and the #define you will use in you .m file :
// the amount of vertical shift upwards keep the text field in view as the keyboard appears
#define kOFFSETFORKEYBOARD 50.0
// the duration of the animation for the view shift
#define kVerticalOffsetAnimationDuration 0.30
good luck !

How to find out if a transportation/accomodation request has been changed?

Hello all,
I need to know if one transportation/accomodation request has been changed after being created. I am using the TRIP standard transaction to plan the travel request without any external agency integration.
My problem is that if I change any field of one travel request such as: begin time, city from, destination or whatever, I cannot
find any field or table that lets me know there has been a change.
I am using an user exit that triggers once you have pressed the "Save" button, but there is no info about the travel requests. There is info about the cluster of the trip, but not about the travel requests. Only the FTPT_REQUEST database gives me this information, but only the final one, so I cannot compare the previous values with the last ones.
Can you please help me with this topic? I don't know how to solve it.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.

Hi,
you can use trace event ST01 or using SAP standard workflow.
as per standard workflow WS20000050 for travel request, while in travel request workflow for approval there is task of "wait for event" that could know if you are changing your travel request it will flow to stop workflow and start it again.
for details, maybe you could see sap workflow SWDD and open workflow of WS20000050.
hope it helps.
thanks.

Sequence file Version number. How to prevent the automatic resetting build version number whilst auto-incrementing revision number?

Hi,
I've got my environment set this way that each save of the sequence file increase the revision part of version number. However, during that increase the build counter is reset to 0. How to prevent it?
TS 4.2

Mimi,
It is pretty common practice in software revisioning to reset a minor number to 0 when a major moves up 1. There are many different schemes out there. If you google or bing software versioning schemes you'll see what I'm talking about.
So looking at it from left to right: Major.Minor.Revision.Build = 0.0.0.1
if you change the Revision it would be expected that anything to the right (in this case Build) would reset to 0. 0.0.1.0!
Let's say your version is 8.34.56.23. It would make sense that if you were to change the Major number (which means a Major release) to 9 then your version would go to: 9.0.0.0.
A version number is just a unique way to tell someone which specific software you are using so it really doesn't matter that it resets to 0. Although it makes sense because if you kept your build number sequential and didn't reset it then it would get outrageously larger which would be more annoying than anything.
Again this is common accepted practice in industry.
Good Luck,

How to make an automatic percentage with a catégory

Hello,
Thank you if you answer to my problem and also if you know the response !
So, I have 3 cells :
-A : with the category (lets make category game, food and books..)
-B : the price
-In C : I would like numbers to calculate automatically the cost with percentage (B x30%) if the category is "game", or B x 40% if the category is food, etc...
Is it possible in one formula ? And also if I have about 10 categories...?
Now, I know this formula wich is working only for one category, but I don't know how to add the variable about the category :
sumif (A;book;B)*30%
For example I would like in the same formula :
sumif (A;book;B)*30% or (A;game;B)*40% .....
With this formula, each time I will make a new entry in A with for example "book", and the price in B, the cell C will be automatically fill with the good percentage.
I hope someone know the answer.
Thank you very much.

Hello
I repeat that all what is needed is in the guide.
=SI(ESTERREUR(RECHERCHEV(A;rates :: $A:$B;2;0));"";ARRONDI(B*RECHERCHEV(A;rates :: $A:$B;2;0);2))
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A,rates :: $A:$B,2,0)),"",ROUND(B*VLOOKUP(A,rates :: $A:$B,2,0),2))
Here it returns an empty string if the category is unavailable.
If you want a true zero, use:
=SI(ESTERREUR(RECHERCHEV(A;rates :: $A:$B;2;0));0;ARRONDI(B*RECHERCHEV(A;rates :: $A:$B;2;0);2))
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A,rates :: $A:$B,2,0)),0,ROUND(B*VLOOKUP(A,rates :: $A:$B,2,0),2))

OT? How to make an "automatic" photo gallery site?

This is a loosely defined question as I'm not sure of all the implications and parameters and have no sample to offer.
My photog client - who doesn't know DW or html - wants a gallery site with a templated page layout so that he only has to upload some (properly named) jpgs into a folder and new pages with thumbnails are created automatically with links in place. I'm not knowledgible enough about html /dynamic html to make recommendations, but I got something similar done with, if I remember correctly, an ASP developer long ago. Can this be done with dreamweaver alone? Suggestions? Samples?

Many photographers like JAlbum Web Photo Album maker. It creates thumbnails, watermarks images, generates the code and scripts for Flash galleries, Lightbox galleries, GPS info, etc.. on the fly. Drag and drop images into folders. Press a button and voila all done. All he would need to do is upload his finished JAlbum Folder to remote server. Simple enough if he can use an FTP client. Or you could build a password protected upload page for him to use.

How to make Safari automatically open .ram sound clips?

When I click on, say a a sound clip to preview music, Safari just downloads the file but does not automatically play it, so I have to click on the file for it to be played by RealPlayer instead of this happening automatically after the download. The "open "safe" files after downloading" box is checked in preferences.
Using Safari 2.03 and RealPlayer 10.0.0 with Tiger

Safari probably has Open Safe Files disabled in preferences as a security caution. Open Safari's Preferences and click on the General icon. Check Open Safe Files if you want Safari to open files automatically. However, if you do this, make sure you have installed the most recent updates using Software Update because the last security update fixed a couple of exploits related to malicious files.

How to make iTunes automatically add music to my library when its downloaded from the web?

Before OS Yosemite, when I downloaded music off the web it would automatically be added to my iTunes library. Now they just ends up in my downloads folder but once I click on them, they start playing in my iTunes.

Hi Darg,
I don't have Safari installed here to look at, but I'd imagine it has a similar way to open certain kinds of downloaded files in specified applications.
In any case, the second method -- directing the download to your Automatically Add to iTunes folder -- is simple to do in any browser.
Let me know how it works out!

How to make videos automatically play right after each other?

I have four videos that I need to automatically play right after each other. For instance video1 plays and is done so video 2 should automatically start to play and then when video 2 is done video 3 should start and when video 3 is done video 4 should start and when video 4 is done video 1 should start. How do you code for this? Also, when a button is clicked whatever video is playing needs to stop and then the item that the button is linked to should show up whether it is another video or a graphic with scrolling text.

How do you use a complete listener? Can you give me an example of code to use or give me a link that has step-by-step instructions? I really would appreciate it.

How to make Mail automatically choose available smtp server?

I have recently switched to using Mail from Thunderbird. In general I'm happy with the move in a number of ways, but one feature of Mail annoys me: I use a laptop as my sole computer and when I'm at work I use the smtp server at work because it responds faster than my Comcast provider. When at home, I have to use the comcast smtp because the work server won't accept outgoing mail from outside the university domain.
I have my accounts set so that they may use multiple smtp servers (the "use only this server" box is NOT checked), yet each time I switch locations, Mail tries to use the last used server, but then won't automatically swtich to the other. I have to respond to a dialog box asking which to use.
Is there a way to set it to automatically switch smtp servers if it doesn't get a response from the first one it picks?
Thanks!

You would not use JavaMail to make a mail server. JavaMail is for mail clients.

How to make firefox automatically go to suggested URL

I'm not sure if this is a setting or something cause by firefox updating.
when I start filling the address bar with the name of a site or URL it gives me suggestions from my history or something. When I click one of the suggestions the URL just sits in my address bar. In order to actually go to the web page I have to press enter. This is annoying. It used to go to the web page as soon as I clicked the suggested page. How do I make it do that again?
[edit] It will go to to some web pages as soon as I click the suggestion but most of the time the URL will just sit in my address bar waiting for further instruction.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
