I guess tracker-style music editors have to live with the heritage of tabular pattern input. Some feature rely heavily on it. FSM started with such a widget and I integrated it into buzztard. One can still switch between the previous and the new one by setting a define. The widget works quite nice already. The only missing feature is native scrolling support. To add that to an own widget requires an ugly hack. I can't figure why gtk does not use an interface for it.

Patterns in buzz also carry volume and panorama events for the inputs of the machine. This was totally missing in buzztard. Now we have quite nice support for it. The volume control works and panorama/balance support is next on the to-do list. While working on that I made master-machine patterns useful by allowing to control master-volume,

The sequence view got more commands. Finally one can insert and delete rows in all columns or only in the current track.

If that wasn't enough, we also did a round of maintenance. All code has been moved to svn. The buildbot has been extended to build all modules now. And finally I got around to port the code to not use the deprecated gtk tooltip API if new gtk is available.

That's a great start for 2008 I'd say!
