No, I didn't insert a tempo track. I'll do that. BTW do I have to add a tempo to the secondary segments as well? Or a tempo track in the primary segment is enough? -----Message d'origine----- De=A0: directmusic-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:directmusic-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] De la part de Todor Fay Envoy=E9=A0: mardi 18 f=E9vrier 2003 06:26 =C0=A0: directmusic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Objet=A0: [directmusic] Re: Primary and secondary segments... Does the segment have a tempo track? If it doesn't, that is why you are getting the message. Playing as a primary does not automatically install a tempo track; that must be authored in the first place.=20 Todor -----Original Message----- From: directmusic-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:directmusic-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Difool Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 12:52 PM To: directmusic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [directmusic] Primary and secondary segments... Hi, I would like to know what makes a segment the primary segment and what makes others the secondaries? The only difference I see is the flag in the PlaysegmentEx (DMUS_SEGF_SECONDARY or not), is that it? I am asking this because I want to set the tempo in the primary segment (default control segment) but what seems to be the primary segment (the only one I play without the DMUS_SEGF_SECONDARY flag) keeps returning the error message "the requested track is not contained by the segment" when I use the Setparam function. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.
