Hey new creature did find the solution to my problem?


I couldn't get Ultimate Coffee to work, kept kicking me out with errors.

Just to clarify, you saved song from EOF then went to Ultimate Coffee FOF and tried to play the song and the screen stayed blank?

I don't know what timestamps are useful for in FOF. Please explain what it is needed for. EOF is using the default of 4/4.

They're useful for when using tabs or actual sheet music to fret songs. If a song is actually in something other than 4/4, it won't align properly when fretting it.
Life would be so much easier if we just had the damn source code.

Alright. I'm no music expert so could you describe what a 9/4 or 9/8 time signature would look like in an editor?

OK I try to explain it to you:
If you set TS to 5/4 you can put 10 pieces of 1/8 notes to one beat. Compare it to 5/8 TS, you can put 9 pieces of 1/8 notes to one beat. Got it? :)

I don't think I get it. 4/4 means 1/4 note is the length of a beat and there are 4 beats to a measure? If that's true then 5/4 means 5 beats to a measure and 1/4 note is the length of a beat, 5/8 means 5 beats to a measure and 1/8 note is the length of a beat.

Hmm, which version of FOF are you using? RF or plain or some other?

I'm using RF Mod 4

P.S. Just downloaded 0.85 and I'm still getting the same error message

Uh, Well, in 5/4 you can have ten eighth notes per measure. I'm not sure what he's trying to say about 5/8...You can only have 5 eighth notes per measure, short of triplets...
Why am I on this website? I'm clearly over the age limit of 14.
