Am I missing where a basic pre-made note value selector is (from Time Syntax list)? Say, with [umenu] including adding dotted values? Seems like a really basic thing that would often be needed, and doesn't need to be re-invented. I've seen the example in [ubutton], which is a little larger and involved than I need. I've searched, as well.

I don't think there is one, but you can quickly make (a text-based) one with umenu or live.dial, etc.

Well, sorta– nothing in Max is quick (at least for me). :)

Seems like kind of no-brainer to have something we can paste, especially If they're talking about "rapid prototyping."

Anyway, there's my venting, and thanks very much.

EDIT: I didn't see your code– Thanks. Does seem easier with live.dial than umenu.

Make a new umenu object, then right-click and choose Prototype>M4L.notevalues.Live or M4L.notevalues.Max

Ah ha! This is perfect. Is there a difference between the Max or Live one? I didn't see one. I really need to look into Prototypes, I guess. Thanks so much!

Use Max notevalues with [translate] to convert them to some other unit (ticks, Hz, ms).

Live notevalues are expressed as fractions of a bar (1/2, 1/4D, 1/8T) and don't seem to work with the [translate] object. I'd bet they're useful with Live, but I don't currently use it so can't say how.

Is there a visual (music notation) version of this somewhere?

i´ve always wondered why [nslider] doenst allow to be used as such a display for different note lengths.

but using a pictureslider with custom pictures is doable, and then it is exactly like you want it to be.
