Hiya! I'm trying to perform a get_selected_notes and replace_selected_notes function on some notes in the piano roll, but i keep hitting a note count limit, does anyone know what the limit is? it's really holding me back...

Hi Kaskobi, I'm also having a problem with get_selected_notes.

When I call this function, the first thing output is a note count, but the numbers of notes outputted is not the same.

In my patch, I start having problems around 700 notes. Once I go above 740 notes, get_selected_notes gives a message "get_selected_notes notes 740" but the following lists of notes that are actually output is only 736.

If i increase the clip to 1000 notes, it's the same. It stops at around 736 )sometimes 739).

Ive used a counter and visually counted. I'll keep investigating - I assume I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks for the reply, have you been able to find any way around this so far? Or are just just running into the same issues as I am, having the wrong note count is extremely unhelpful considering I sometimes call get_selected_notes on around 1000 - 3000 notes at a time, considering I’m using this function to modify lightshows on a Launchpad. Would this be a case of contacting cycling74 to get this patched?

I am using a counter to create an index of all the notes. The problem seemed to be that live.object was outputting the notes too fast for my counter. So in the time counter could react, it had received 3 notes and only processed one of them (or something like that, I couldn't work out exactly what was going on).

I have massively improved it by batching. I'm using 'get_notes' and grabbing 100 beats' worth of notes (about 250 notes of light piano playing), then getting the next 100. Much more accurate.

I have a new problem now, there are duplicate notes! It's probably an error with my batching code. I hate doing loops in Max, they take forever to work out, and then they don't work.

I'll probably move it over to javascript to sort out the batching part, one day (circa 2059).

I'll let you know if I make progress, once I get something more stable and useful
