HOW TO USE Xaw interface of TiMidity++
Xaw interface of TiMidity prepares a GUI only with Athena Widget sets
and Xt libraries that are standard toolkits of X Window System.
* WHAT'S NEW in 2.14.0
- Support for loading and saving playlists.
- Vastly improved file dialog (Separate file/directory panes, filtering, etc.).
- Scroll wheel support.
- Supports Drag and Drop via the XDND protocol.
- Tooltips for buttons are implemented.
- Can mute individual channels in trace mode.
- Fixed time thumb. Now it can also be used to change the position in the midi.
- Support displaying more than 16 channels.
- Many many bugs fixed and other small improvments.
* INSTALLATION
The xaw interface is compiled by passing either "--enable-interface=xaw"
or "--enable-dynamic=xaw" as parameters for the configure script.
TiMidity++ ordianary install will than contain the xaw interface.
The are several ways to configure the xaw interface before compilation:
A) Some parameters can be passed to GNU configure to modify the xaw
interface. Namely:
--with-xawlib=<comma delimetered list of toolkit names>
--with-xaw-resource-prefix=<prefix to resource dir>
--enable-xdnd, --disable-xdnd
--enable-offix, --disable-offix
--with-xawlib:
TiMidity++ supports multiple Xaw toolkits. By default it searches for them
in this order: xaw3d, xaw. If you wish to force compilation
with a specific toolkit, provide the --with-xawlib=<name> parameter to
configure, e.g.:
./configure --enable-interface=xaw --with-xawlib=xaw
or even:
./configure --enable-interface=xaw --with-xawlib=neXtaw,xaw3d,XawPlus,xaw
to force a different search order.
--enable-xdnd, --enable-offix, --disable-xdnd, --disable-offix
Enable/Disable support for XDND/Offix drag and drop protocols. By default
both are disabled.
--with-xaw-resource-prefix=<prefix>
Optional parameter. If passed, timidity will try to install the resource files
to <prefix>/app-defaults/ and <prefix>/ja_JP.EUCJP/app-defaults.
B) The xaw.h and x_trace.h files can be edited as well to change some options:
If you want to use Label Widget for lyrics as in version 1.1,
remove /* */ so that this line is visible:
#define WIDGET_IS_LABEL_WIDGET
Although $(HOME)/.xtimidity will be regarded as an initial personal
configuration file, you can rename it by changing the line;
#define INITIAL_CONFIG ".xtimidity"
If you'd like to see more/less than 16 channels in one screen when in
trace mode, change
#define D_VISIBLE_CHANNELS 16
in x_trace.h.
(There's a way to change that after compilation: changing the traceHeight
resource will change the number of visible channels in one screen.)
!!! NOTE !!!
Don't forget to make clean before build if these files are edited.

[!c]* shows all filenames not starting with 'c'.
* TRACE MODE
Specify the interface option flag 't' in command line like as
'timidity -iat' when you execute TiMidity (see timidity man page).
You can see a funny movements of volume, expression, panning,
pitchbending, reverb, chorus and voices et cetera of each channel on the
trace canvas. Click left mouse button on the trace screen and you can
toggle trace screen between 'pitchbend and instrument' or 'tonebank,
reverb and chorus'. Click right mouse button and you can (un)mute a channel.
Click middle mouse button, and you can play a channel solo.
Wheel or 'j' key can scroll the trace to see more channels than the usual
16 channels. If the trace is too tall for your resolution, simply set
the traceHeight resource to a lower value.

# cp TiMidity.ad /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/TiMidity
# cp TiMidity-uj.ad /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/ja_JP.EUC/TiMidity
