How to change tempo and how to loop a section.

[eyeke04]

Hi Cifka,

Thank you again for this amazing library. Is there a player method to increase/reduce the tempo.

Also how can I loop through a section of the noteSequence?

Extra question - please when the player start, I want to get the first note in the sequence that will be played. For example, if I pause the player and I want to restart it, I want get the very first note that will be played.

Thanks for your question! The player API is described here. Whatever is not there isn't directly supported, but of course some advanced features can be implemented using this API.

Unfortunately there isn't, see #21.

Looping is not supported, see #8. You could try listening for the note event and when the time exceeds the end of your section, you reset back to the beginning (by setting player.currentTime). However as I noted in #8, the looping probably won't be perfect, there will be some delay.

You can loop through player.noteSequence.notes and find the first note after player.currentTime. Or you can listen to the note event and you will be notified when a note plays (you can stop listening after the first one).

BTW, don't hesitate to create multiple discussion threads if you have multiple questions.
