Arpeggiator loop problem.

[Tedjuh]

Hello there..

I’m trying to build an arpeggiator to program my own arps for my Roland SH-201.

The arpeggiator consists of uiLabels which you can change on doubleclick with a popup menu. Schematically:
[X][ ][ ][X] [X][Tie][Tie][Tie] [X][Tie][Tie][Tie]

Essentially it consists of 16 rows of 32 uiLabels.
Every [] is a uiLabel named 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 and so on. (or 2-1, 2-2 for 2nd row)
x = note selected. Empty = empty. Tie = Tied Note, extends note

Most of the menu is working except for one small thing. I want to be able to delete all Tied notes until the next X. For instance: I deselect the X in the second bar. It should delete the Tie’s that follow until the next X. Because you cannot have Tied notes without a selected note. But it should not delete the Ties in the Third bar. Schematically:
[X][ ][ ][X] [][][][] [X][Tie][Tie][Tie]

(sC = L(comp:getOwner():getName())
(rowNr is componentGroupName of sC .. just 1 2 3 and so on)
(labelNr is componentVisibleName of sC .. just 1 2 3 and so on)

this deletes everything in selected row:

row = string.format("%s-", rowNr)
for i = 1,32 do
panel:getComponent(row..i):setText("")
end

How do I iterate over the uiLabels until an X is met which breaks the loop? Because:

i = tonumber(labelNr)
	
while i <= 31 do
i = i + 1
console("I = "..i)
console(row..i)

	if panel:getComponent(row..i):getProperty("uiLabelText") == "Tie" then
	panel:getComponent(row..i):setText("")
	elseif panel:getComponent(row..i):getProperty("uiLabelText") == "X" then
	break
	end
end

results in a nil value for the first if statement..

without the if statement console prints 1-1, 1-2 1-3 and so on.. so why doesn’t it run over all the labels to see if it’s a Tie or X ?

I’m lost.. :-/

Thnx in advance..

I wish i could send the panel but i don’t know which file to send..

Whew, guess I solved my own problem.

i = tonumber(labelNr)
	
 	for i = labelNr,31 do
	i = i + 1

		if panel:getComponent(row..i):getProperty("uiLabelText") == "Tie" then
		panel:getComponent(row..i):setText("")
		panel:getModulatorByName("vel"..row..i):setModulatorValue(0, false, false, false)
		elseif panel:getComponent(row..i):getProperty("uiLabelText") == "X" then
		break
		end

	end

Now it doesn’t delete all the ties in the 1st or 2nd bar when i delete the ties in the third. This works when the clicked label is a Tie, now to make it work when the clicked label is an “X” followed by a Tie or Ties.
