    You’re right
    Sorry
    I was in a rush

    It would help if you posted screenshots.

  • Sorry I thought this post would be in the loopy section of the forum
    Above is portrait and then landscape, which has a lot of black space which I thought my page layout would cover

  • @Gdub : that is the size required to preserve the relative proportions and positions of the objects in your layout . Tall or wide layouts that fully use the available space don’t rotate well.

    Take a picture of the talk layout and scale the picture to fit on a rotated screen.

    You might want to screen lock your device if you want to use that layout while your device is rotated.

    Thanks for the reply
    I guess I will do the layout in landscape
    One thing I noticed was that if I am in landscape and then via Apple control Center from the top left pull down, when I tap rotation lock it sets loopy to portrait and locks which isn’t desirable

  • I will report this on slack now as this seems to be a rotation lock bug

    My understanding is that on the iPhone (but not iPad) screen lock is portrait mode only (unless an app implements its own independent screen lock)

  • Thanks just saw your reply on slack

  • Sounds like you have orientation lock turned on in Loopy Pro settings; turn it off and it’ll rotate the entire canvas when you rotate the device.

    Maybe, I am mistaken but a tall full layout designed in portrait mode, probably needs to have portrait lock turned on to avoid what they are seeing which is what happens with tall layouts are rotated to landscape. That works ok.

    That would work if orientation lock were turned on in the device settings so it didn’t rotate at all. Otherwise it needs LP to rotate the canvas

    Maybe I am not understanding what you mean. The issue is that on iPhone the os orientation lock locks portrait orientation…unlike the Pad the iPhone can’t won’t let you lock in landscape orientation… an iOS quirk I don’t understand.

  • For example:

    Wide iPhone layout in landscape

    If you turn on the iPhone’s screen lock while holding the phone in landscape, the os rotates to portrait layout

    Not Loopy’s fault.

    Where is the lock rotation setting in loopy pro
    I must be looking in the wrong places

    That’s in system settings within loopy pro

    Wasn’t that removed recently? I don’t see it.

    Yes indeed, thus my hilarity at this thread! I’ve just re-added it, actually, because it occurs to me that especially on the iPhone this will actually be a good feature to keep. I’ve just locked it by default.

  • Going to try this feature as my layout got really tiny compared to portrait mode. This is on iPhone.

    When creating a layout on the phone, if you are creating for landscape , you don’t want a lot of rows. The editor scales everything to fit. So things look tiny if you you have as many rows as columns.

    In landscape, you can have many columns without things being tiny but only about two rows.

    I see. I've been tweaking the template you shared with me. I love it!!! So far I got all the sound routed fine. Using dual amp setup with ToneX.

    I also was able to configure your Tap Tempo widget to one of my mido switches! I love it, and it really works!

    I need to still learn how to create bpm tempo presets to switch tempo bpm between songs.

    I wish Michael could do a feature where one can select a whole bunch of widgets, sort of like one does when you lasso a bunch of them and copy and paste, but also to be able to say expand the selected group of widgets. I tried selecting some of the ones in your template in landscape mode but, literally was like tapping on tiny needle holes.

  • @Tones4Christ : you can select many widgets at once like with a selection tool. But it can’t be expanded.

  • And you can copy paste.

  • Awesome! Yeah the copy and paste works beautifully!
    I wish once you selected the group of widgets it would allow you to expand the group of selected widgets in order to place them as desired in landscape mode. That would rock!
