FamiTracker
Not sure whether this is a bug or not, but I wonder if somebody can reproduce this quirk/glitch, or provide some kind of explanation?
Earlier in the day I made a short intro to a thing, and saved it. Later on, I reopened it and noticed a Cxx command on row 20 of frame 1, that I didn't remember inserting. After deleting the Cxx command, I noticed in the note column in pulse 1, row 20 read "A-V" and the volume was 0. Tthe rest of the pattern data (row 21 onwards) was there as normal after the Cxx was removed?
I've attached the .ftm with the offending note, and a screenshot of what it looks like from my end.
um, that's weird. maybe this weird thing occured when you were saving? i guess that would explain that Cxx command you didn't put before. I mean - why would it just be there out of nowhere?
also, it seems that in my case it works kinda different. [url=http://screenshooter.net/3460105/ubipamu]1 [url=http://screenshooter.net/3460105/parhmqq]2 [url=http://screenshooter.net/3460105/cdoryri]3

And the keyboard layout I was using was FastTracker2.
Oddly enough, I think I've actually managed to replicate the bug after lots of trying. Turns out it's actually linked to the <invalid> bug DjJizzer and a number of other people stumbled upon. Making a selection near the bottom of a frame, and then dragging that selection to a higher point in the frame from below the bottom of the frame can produce not only a bunch of <invalid>s, but also random pattern data (instrument numbers, random effects etc and the strange notes).
The attached file demonstrates that. I managed to produce another strange note but also a whole bunch of other stuff that I didn't actually input. On top of that, frame 01 ends before the maximum number of rows despite a lack of Cxx, Dxx or Bxx command (ie. the frame ends at 3D instead of 3F) :O This was done in 0.4.3 beta 2.
I also encountered it when Importing Midi (when FamiTracker was still capatiblr for importing midis) and B-/ appeared in a row which I was messing around with.
Strange is that FT registeres that as the highest note, exporting it as NSF gives out another note.
Or the invaild one was also caused of broken midi import.
But I've NEVER encountered these ever again.
There's a hidden Cxx effect in Pulse 2, first column effect as I have seen. I selected and deleted that field and the two other rows appeared.
EDIT: Apparently, it's true that you can select stuff from below the patterns. Here's the mess I got while doing so. And maybe there's some issue with saving because when I originally did that module, only Pulse 2 played a high pitched note. And I tested this on old versions and I found that this might be present from 0.3.5 or earlier, and when I tried with 0.3.8 beta 4 the (invalid) tags appeared, along with junk pattern data.
ANOTHER EDIT: Whoops, I added some DPCM samples and the program crashed and generated a minidump.
I managed to reproduce the select beyond pattern-end problem and will fix it. I hope that could have been the cause of the initial problem, otherwise I don't know.
Mr_Master: That crash was caused by playing invalid instruments. The (invalid) tag is used by me to spot pattern errors, and can appear for example if pattern data is read from random memory (such as the select problem). It should never appear normally.
