First impressions and questions
using arrow keys to go to "next interesting spot" -- took me to the beginning or end of song. nothing interesting in between. That's Country music for ya! LOL
<shrug> Now it works. </shrug>
BTW, I sing Country as well as Pop Rock etc (not the candy)
Insert templates fine (with red Xs) but changes were NOT saved... but now there are purple blocks where the changes should be
Hmm.. trying to figure out how to SELECT a very small section so I can then cut / copy / paste
zoomed in to a small area where I want to edit, now I can't find the red brackets.
Oh, I see now... size/ move the red brackets BEFORE zooming in with the purple brackets
CUT works, I guess COPY works, but PASTE just beeps at me
Curious: What is the significance of splitting a second into 74.4 units?
Nice work so far!

"interesting times" are your selection brackets, and comp blob times. you have to put down at least one comp element to get a blob, then you can use the up and down arrows to go to it's start and end timesusing arrow keys to go to "next interesting spot" -- took me to the beginning or end of song. nothing interesting in between.

now what works? and what didn't before? doing what?<shrug> Now it works. </shrug>
your changes live in the cache ONLYInsert templates fine (with red Xs) but changes were NOT saved... but now there are purple blocks where the changes should be
which means you can in fact quit kJams and come back later and re-edit the same file and your changes are still there.
but to *save* your changes, you have to do a command-S (save)
warning: if you don't save, your work may be blown away next time the cache is cleared.
but usually that's a while away. you'd have to play N new songs to blow it away (N= the number of songs allowed in your cache)
the "i" and "o" keys set the In and Out points for the selection bracketsHmm.. trying to figure out how to SELECT a very small section so I can then cut / copy / paste

paste will always beep the first time, and it will adjust the selection brackets to show you what you're about to paste over. if you agree this is a good idea, paste again and it will actually paste over what was there before.CUT works, I guess COPY works, but PASTE just beeps at me
not my call. that's the spec.Curious: What is the significance of splitting a second into 74.4 units?
a CD Audio Disc plays 75 Sectors per second. each sector holds four records for graphic data

I still get a chuckle when I see "comp blobs" in writing
I kinda figured out what comps are (compositions) but dunno what blobs are yet
Nice screen shots on the wiki, though I wish I could see them better through these blobs on my glasses
May you live in "interesting times"
P.S. the thing that wasn't working at first was the arrow keys. I think you explained it... I had no comp blobs yet, so it was just taking me to the beginning or end of the file. Do not pass GO or collect $20,000 (inflation)

in the screen shots, the blobs are the purple rounded rectangles, some of which have lyrics in them

?
sorry, what rows and columns where? what?
Okay, in the Producer inspector box, there is a number next to the the rows and columns, if i hover over the number next to the row or column and left click it changes the number. This function does not work on my ibook, it only works on my desktop. This enables you to move te bits of text horizontal or diagonal.
:)
And do you have the latest version of kJams on your iBook?
:)
yes of course
:)
yes
edit the file
use the time selection brackets to select the area that is early
cut
move the time marker a little past the first marker
paste
you've just moved the graphics a little later
