There are situations where I can open the drop-downs for Transformation and Streaming (working with Heads + Tails) and chose another value, but as soon as the drop-down closes, the old values is back again – or in other words, I cannot change the value.
Workflow to reproduce:
(1) start a fresh instance of Synfire (quit Synfire entirely beforehand)
(2) click Start with an Empty Arrangement button
(3) switch to the Library View
(4) activate the Factory Pane : sometimes Bass (Single) and other times Piano Bass is selected
(5) activate the Segments (Sub-) Pane
(6) try to change the Transformation drop-down for Heads (or Tails) from “Read 3” to “Read 2” or “Pick 1”, it does not work
But this depends on what I have done in the Library Factory panel beforehand – if I have e.g. changed the Streaming drop-down beforehand, the value changes.
In another situation, where I used the Line.Bass + Bass (Single) Factory for a longer time, creating some phrases, I was not able to change the value of the Transformation and the Streaming drop-down. But once I had used the dice on the Segments pane, it worked.
It also matters if you have a fresh Synfire instance running or if you have closed another arrangement that had already loaded the Kim factories beforehand (maybe carrying some state information over) – in the latter case it might work, depending on what you have done in or with the factories beforehand.
