Synfire 2.4.0 Build #1 on MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1:

10x factory generation for SD in 7:8 scheme generates 10x harmony patterns instead of 10x fixed pitch patterns.

That looks like the default Preview progression. So I suspect there is simply no SD generated at all (due to odd probability settings). In which case Synfire shows the next best available parameter.

Thx Andre, yes this is possible. 

Would it make sense to return an alert, warning message in addition?

Rationale: I requested a parameter type and return value follows a different parameter type, which I interprete as an exception.

The same Line Factory is also used for multi-line phrases where it is legitimate to have individual lines that are empty if some probabilities are low (e.g. a bar that happens to go w/o a snare but with other instruments).

If a factory is used standalone as an isolated line, you suggestion makes perfect sense.
