Really cool project - I'm always a fan of things which make writing music in plain text easier.
It looks pretty bad on Android Chrome, sadly - when a tab block is attached to a word it seems to make a large gap between the first letter of the word and the rest of it. Hope it's an easy fix.
Thank you for your response. I've also noticed the spacing issue and am still working on a solution. The space is determined by the width of the chord chart, which I designed to prevent consecutive charts from overlapping. Since this isn't a common issue, I’m considering using absolute positioning to address it.
"...many extreme evangelical groups started to recognize that the fight against LGBTQ+ rights in the United States was a losing battle. These groups then shifted focus to Uganda, which was seen as fertile ground for this anti-gay ideology..."
I wonder if parent post is alluding to the number of hours spent bookkeeping? As a percentage of somebody's time, I could see that getting reasonably expensive.
Sadly, although it supports realtime processing, it doesn't say anything about latency, which is a make-or-break quality for most realtime audio processing. Definitely feels like a batch processing library which has had realtime support bolted on. The VST support is extremely cool though!
The name "pedalboard" might not be the most fitting if latency is too high.
That said, it could still be very useful in a studio setting for post-production work.
What would be really exciting is a hardware device with all the standard plug-and-play inputs, capable of running Python... essentially a true open-source pedalboard for guitar enthusiasts.
If I was looking for a digital pedalboard device I'd want something that was extremely rugged, never had software issues or forced me to download updates, and booted up within about 10-15 seconds (that's how long the digital pedals on my actual pedalboard take to boot). It also needs a case with, at the very least, a couple of patch change switches and an on/off switch; but preferably a lot more.
The ruggedness and built-in controls are really important. I used to gig with a standard laptop + audio interface + multiple MIDI controllers. The external gear was a real hassle to set up, even with everything labelled with bright coloured tape so I could just match colour to colour while plugging it in. And eventually the laptop got knocked over and fell a couple of feet onto a wooden stage - and even that minor impact smashed the screen, which was glued in so I couldn't replace it. I also have a horror story about a machine rebooting to apply Windows updates in the middle of a gig and requiring the rest of the band to improvise until I was done! I don't really gig any more, but if I took it up again, I would switch to using as much hardware as I could.
But I really don't care about actual analog devices. I already have a decent few DSP-powered pedals on my pedalboard and I cannot tell the difference, other than the true analog ones are more noisy!
There is the MOD Dwarf, a Linux based pedal that is much as you describe. It has a pedal style case with three foot buttons, a few encoders and buttons and screen for changing parameters on the fly, but to fully configure it you use a laptop or tablet to connect to it and set up a patch.
I've used it before for realtime-uses (not production though where you'd need 100% guarantees for no drop-outs), latency has not been an issue. I think you essentially get the latency of the plugins you're using since this is a JUCE wrapper.
Ultimately it depends on how much work you do and how efficient an audio thread you built. pedalboard is not a library which does audio playback itself, it just effects buffers you give it.
I used python-sounddevice, which are bindings for PortAudio - if you don't use much CPU you can comfortably run plugins in realtime.
Obviously you're still beholden to the GIL in Python (until further notice) so if worse comes to worst you might experience the unlucky dropout.
The market must be very different in the US. In the UK, Beyond Meat is the most expensive meat free option in my local supermarket, other than one type of fake steak. There are some other premium brands at slightly lower prices, then cheaper brands, and finally supermarket own brands.

I think that’s true here too. The point is it’s less expensive than both high-quality meat and very fresh vegetables bred and grown for taste versus weight.
The bits of the bill in question which are applicable:
---
"Expressive activities" means any speech or
expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment to the United
States Constitution or by Section 8, Article I, Texas Constitution,
and includes assemblies, protests, speeches, the distribution of
written material, the carrying of signs, and the circulation of
petitions.
...
Each institution of higher education shall adopt a
policy detailing rights and responsibilities regarding
expressive activities at the institution. The policy must:
...
Prohibit:
...
engaging in expressive activities on campus
between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.
---
That's pretty clear cut, to be honest. Like the article says, the intent is probably much more limited, but it literally says "any speech or conduct which is protected under the first amendment is banned". That's just really poor drafting indeed.
That's what noise ordinances are for, and noise ordinances still allow you to engage in free speech. You just have to keep it reasonably quiet during the night.
This you? What made your stance on this subject change?

How can you even have democracy without freedom of speech?
How can you freely choose who to vote without free exchange of information?
OP did not at all imply they felt that way, rather was implying an argument on behalf of the drafters.
God, this forum is becoming more like reddit every day with folks ignoring commenting rules and assuming bad faith. (of which ,I am doing myself right now.)
why do you think it's poor drafting? there's a clear cross-country campaign by the American right that's seized control of many states and the federal government to end free speech as a concept by creating laws and regulations and policies like this, so that favoured groups can do whatever, and anyone who finds themselves disfavoured will be in violation of stuff like this.
I think the article answers this pretty well. The bill has text about not being construed as restricting any first amendment rights while simultaneously banning all 1A activity within certain hours. That just seems like a really stupid contradiction, and one that's likely to rile people up, compared to a drafting which just says "here are a list of protest activities which are allowed in the day and banned at night", which I feel was the intent of the bill.
