Yeah sounds good! And yes, the wheel action is an issue for all fields that allow it, it behaves the same. The methods you propose would solve it so people could choose the behavior most compatible with their mice.
Using keyboard for dialog, I can confirm that it's a bit inconsistent on the Mac version, I had the same experience. I had to reach out for the mouse, and click the field before I could type in because the field is not active. I have no idea how to activate it in code as I don't write Java.

When you introduce dynamics, etc., can something that affects tempo, such as a rit., blend to a tempo change in the next song part. For example, the next song part is going to be at 80%, but the temp begins to slow a bar or two before in the current song part. As it is now, a tempo change is abrupt and sounds weird. I wonder if there might be a way to tap on a pad, like in some metronome apps, to set a tempo, and to even tap out tempo changes. It could be like conducting to slow or increase the tempo. This would help MIDI to sound more fluid-like. Imagine being able to also slow the end of a song part, hold and Dim., and then jump into Allegro, for example.
It will be really nice to have crescendos, etc. in the future.

您好,您可以添加多国语言设置吗?

@ 52 beyond
For now JJazzLab is only in english. Adding multi-lingual support is on my (long!) todo-list, you're not the only one to ask this...

@ 52超越目前,JJazzLab仅使用英语。在我的待办事项清单上增加了多语言支持,您并不是唯一一个问这个问题的人... good!Thanks Jerome

@jerome Hi, I'm Pete fom Germany and I just stumbled upon JJaazzLab (by accident). What a great program! I had a look into BiaB years ago (when MIDI was still new ) but wasn't too impressed then. Recently I looked into the matter again and found it much improved but way out of my budget. Thank you for poviding it for free. I'm just getting acquainted with it and - although I'm not too bad in English - it would be great to have it in German. I've see that mult-language is on your list, so I wonder if I could help. Let me know... Is there some kind of a tutorial somewhere? (Maybe I didn't look deep enough) Greeting from Bavaria

Thanks very much for the help. You're not the first one to propose this, but I first need to do some work to get the language files ready to be translated. Right now I have no time for JJazzLab, I hope it will be better in a few weeks.

A transpose tool. Especially as a practice tool, I'd love to be able to build a backing in C and then transpose it to whatever other key I want to practice in later.

I am super-stoked to have stumbled upon JJazzLab. Thank you Jerome! I burned many, many hours fiddling to get BiaB running under Linux, but have never entirely made peace with having this one piece of proprietary software remaining amongst my otherwise thriving open-source toolkit. MMA, of course, has been in my peripheral vision, but I just haven't quite been able to make that jump. You've certainly hit the spot for me with JJazzLab. So... what would make it better for me? Well, this is based on the most cursory experimentation, but I'd have loved to have seen: 1) customisable MIDI key-bindings (play/stop, at least, perhaps control of mix channels); and
2) some sort of playlist from which to speedily cue songs.
As you might deduce, my use-case is live performance, <ducks> but this gives me a share interest in your desire to see the most "authentic" rendition possible, with tastefully randomised style variations etc. I will continue to experiment, and will follow the progress of this project with great interest. Great job so far!

Thanks for the feedback orania For 1) I've started working on Midi input. It's not ready yet, but adding play/stop etc. Midi commands would be not too difficult. I realize I too miss this feature when I'm playing! For 2) this is typically something which could get quite easily developed by any developer as a JJazzLab plugin... FYI the next version 2.3 will include a wizard to greatly facilitate the creation of "extended Yamaha styles", which can contain more variations and some (basic) randomization.

JJazzlab is a fantastic programm. I just discovered it a month ago and I use it all the time (except when sleeping). I'm still undecided if I shall tell all my music collegues (and competitors) about this magic arrangement helper or if I shall conceal the reasons for my suddenly so interesting songs =) I think a humanize function would be the single most feature I want to have in JJazzlab at the moment. By now I humanize the exported midi tracks in reaper and export them from there to Ardour (which can not humanize very well). If Jjazzlab could do humanizing it would save me a cumbersome operation step.
Anyway, Jjazzlab is already a great tool. Thanks for this, Jerome!

Thanks for the feedback, it's always nice to read this :-)
I agree, this is a feature which would add a lot of value to JJazzLab, and could be added as a plugin (any developer interested?).
Could you help finding the right pointers on how to do this ? I mean what kind of algorithms should be used (beyond adding basic randomization to notes positions and velocities), ideally find good open-sourced algorithms...

@jerome: Randomizing positions and velocities would already be great. Even greater would be if instruments could be humanized independently. And if there would be an option to exclude from humanization all notes that are on the downbeat (or to humanize them seperately).
I haven't got a clue about open sourced algorithms. It seems to be quite a big deal. Neither Lmms nor Audacity (which also handles midi lately) seems to have this feature yet. (Though the next version of Lmms seems to have it). Hydrogen drum sequencer is so far the only open source software I know of that does humanizing. Ardour has a way of achieving some kind of midi humanisation manual.ardour.org/working-with-midi/transformation-midi/ though it's rather tricky.

Just found that Qtractor seems to handle humanization rather well. Velocity, pitch, time and length can be humanized by % -Values. Maybe that can be helpful?
