If you cannot find any MusE widgets, designer + did not find the file "musewidgetsplugin.so". + +====================== + Environment +====================== + +Naming: + The Qt designer files are named after the LADSPA plugin ID. + Example: the "freeverb" plugin has the id "1050". A gui for + freeverb has to be named "1050.ui". + The plugin ID is shown in the MusE plugin browser. + +Path: + MusE looks for *ui files at (museglobalshare)/plugins/. + If you installed MusE at "/usr" (configured with --prefix=/usr) + MusE looks at "/usr/share/muse/plugins" for *ui files. + +====================== + Creating *.ui file +====================== + +The association between LADSPA plugin parameters and Qt-Widgets is +done by name. All input widgets which manipulate a LADSPA parameter +must have a name starting with the letter "P" followed by the parameter +index. + Example: + A "Slider" widget which manipulates the 3th parameter of a + plugin has the name "P3slider". + +Supported Widgets: + "Slider" slider for float values + "DoubleLabel" entry for float values + "QCheckbox" to manipulate a on/off LADSPA parameter + "QComboBox" select from a list of named values; sets + integer LADSPA values + +(for more hints please look at the example *.ui files) + |
