Hello.
This short example will show another useful Synfire parameter: Morphing between two adjacent containers, here labeled A and B.
Morphing in Synfire creates a smooth transition between two figures (containers).
Here I used two guitar figures: a fast moving finger-picking in Container A, and a slower one in B.
Morphing occurs as a Fade-Out in the last 4 measures of A. Remember to disable this checkbox
in order to make Synfire show the figures and how they change each time you press "New Suggestion, Please!".
Attached to this post you will find two mp3: without and with morphing.

Congrats, Andre, this is one of the finest features of SF: often the results are astonishing for their "humanity" such as in the previously posted file Morphing3.mp3: the transition sounds like if a real guitarist is improvising a fill between the two accompaniments (containers A -> B)
RapidComposer should have morphing too, but I did not try it yet.

That's pretty much what distinguishes Synfire's approach from others. Music is not math. It's a language.
Thanks again so much for posting your examples. Someone should collect them in a compendium or something (didn't we start that Wiki page already? I'm just too busy with development right now). Maybe come January or so we can engage in a collaborative composition, posting our developing arrangement her for others to follow.

I'm still struggling for a full-size composition with Synfire, but I will post my masterpiece (with all the explanations) as soon as it will be ready :-)
Regarding a Wiki, why not?
