Yep, play around with the buffer rate and the music library. I use 2048 for the buffer and the MuseSounds, but if you use regular sound fonts, it might be faster.

Thank you!

Yes! I've used Copilot and VsCode for a project, but I found it way too much of a hassle to justify it. But that's just me though! It does work, and Copilot was very useful in generating GDscript.

Thank you very much!!

Thank you for your support!

Nope! It's definitely a more tedious way than paino roll for sure. But personally I prefer the staff notation to see musical ideas.

I'm glad to have helped!

Thank you for the feedback, it's much appreciated!

These are some great optimization tips! I haven't been on godot for a while and it seems like I did forget to use queue_free(). I'll mention this in the next episode.

It's a setting under appearance which allows you to change the background color and inverse notes.

You are very welcome!

You got it! I'm continuing it until the end.

I just messed around with the appearance settings. You can change everything from color of the score to fonts.

In my opinion, I think Copilot is more coding while chatgpt is more general. Even if GPT4 is a better model in almost every regard, the lack of focus in training data causes it to underfit too often. They're both great tools to help with programming projects nonetheless.

Thank you for your support, I'll be sure to make more tutorials soon!

ur welcome😁@@lynnlo

It's in the settings under appearance!

@@lynnlo thank you, I can actually look at my composition now and not have the bright white blind me

This is one of the short ones, yes. But thank you for your support!

Thank you for watching!

You go to preferences > Appearance > Theme.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'd be happy to help! Just tell me what topics you're interested in, and I'll be happy to make videos on them. And don't worry about payment, I enjoy sharing my knowledge.

Is there a quick way to edit chords instead of erasing them and completely rewriting them in? Like edit notes within the score one by one? I don’t know all the quick keys yet… but I did pretty ok on my first score. I played the piano and exploded the scores into my string quartet. Oh and string glissandos but portamento style not like falling style

I gotcha! These two I can answer directly but this gives me a good idea for a video. You can select and drag notes in a chord with the mouse. But I find it easier to select a note in a chord and use up and down arrow keys to move it. To put in a portamento, you should use the proper glissando line for notation purposes (though functionally it doesn't matter). In the inspector, select playback and set it to portamento instead of chromatic. Hope this helps!

@@lynnlo​​⁠​⁠can you make a video on all the keyboard shortcuts you use for like tuplets and other markings? Do you use defaults or have a custom setup?

I have a custom setup that I've grown used to. I'm planning on making it soon!

Indeed.

Thank you for joining my stream and for the recommendations!

It's actually just tensors and weights, yep. But still I think it's pretty cool.

I appreciate it! I'll try my best to do regular streams.

You had me double check my spelling.

I really hope so, but again it feels much lighter not dealing with legacy code.

I use "E" instead of "N" for new notes. "T" for ties, "G" to make anything dotted, and "S" for slurs. I would recommend taking a look at the shortcuts to memorize accents as well. Another thing I started doing was creating a custom pallette. It only takes a couple of minutes but has saved me hours of searching.

Touché Falta, touché.

Thank you so much!

How could I have not known!

Good point good point.

I tested 3.5 for this. Maybe I should do one with 4.0?

I'm glad it was helpful!

That's a problem I've been trying to solve, too. It seems more like defending a town than a battle. I think objectives are a great solution though!

How so?

@@lynnlo projectiles may require offense rather than defense.

Ohh, that sounds great, actually. Maybe ranged units for enemies.

​@@lynnlo Game looks good! 🙂I have some ideas to make it more engaging and strategic though. Perhaps make the melee enemies a little tankier, low damage and instead have those ranged enemies shooting from a little distance, acting like damage dealers. So if the player is not actively attacking the enemy backline to handle them, your units will take a lot of damage. And maybe an enemy that tries to keep distance from player units and that heals his allies? The healer would be hard to kill with melee units, because he runs away, so maybe some ranged units for the player as well to counter healers. Ranged units could have lower health, so having a lot of them would work on the early waves, but the player would be heavily punished when the tankier enemies start spawning. Just some ideas to bring some more strategy into the game, as the player would have to figure out what to prioritise in order to "solve" the current wave. Also, what about special boss waves, like a big but slow guy that needs a specific strategy to die? Like some orbs circling around the boss, so the player has to use ranged units to kill him

Oh wow, thank you so much for the ideas! The way the unit system is set up only allows for melee units, but this greatly hinders the potential for strategy. I think a unit makeover would be rightly in order. I also agree that waves are too short/inconsequential, I plan on slowing down enemies and making them stronger as a solution. Again, thanks for the feedback. This is only a demo, but hopefully will get much more content and polish soon.

Thank you!
