I’ve tried doing it with the selectionstart and selectionend inputs, but it often ends up sending one before the other (ever so slightly) and it gets glitchy.

- set mouse mode to 0
- get the mouse position from the mousestate outlet
- translate it to the actual position in the buffer using the display start and end values

selection end is changed only as soon as selection start becomes higher than the current selection end

I’d like to be able to define a selection width of value Z, and move the selection around with the mouse, without affecting the selection width at all. Sort of like a wide scrub?

Turns out what I needed it for wasn’t working well anyway, so I’ve scrapped that line of reasoning (I’ve gone through about 12 today…) I’ve basically been reduced to removing display functions from this tool I’m building, because it just causes too many slowdowns. :/

Thanks though!

This works for what I want (ugly though)

A couple of ways: set a grid size (I use ms. so if you want that then set it in the waveform~ inspector, beats/samples are also possible). Set snap to grid. Then your selection will never be less than that, or if it’s bigger, it will be an integer multiple of that (2 beats, 3, 8, etc.)

Or use the Loop tool to move around instead of the select. With shift held down the size will not change (but if you have snap to grid or snap to zero-crossings on, this will override). Without shift you can size the width by moving in the Y direction as well. The select and move tools also function differently with shift held down, check them out :)

I have a secondary mode that I’d like to pass mouse commands to, and the waveform needs to function differently when in that mode (normal mode, the loop tool functions normally. The secondary mode, horizontal on the mouse changes a pitch value, and so I don’t want the loop tool to change the size of the selection in that modem but I don’t want to have to make my users hold down the shift key, either.
