Re: [Bluemusic-users] Render Time Showing

[Steven Yi <ste...@gm...>]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the feedback on the render time!  Glad to hear that it's on
par with expectations.

As for the BSB Object names, it seems to be working for me for both
BSB and in ObjectBuilder.  I did get tripped up once though and didn't
press enter when setting the objeectName of a widget, which then
didn't commit the value when I clicked onto something else.  Could you
try once again and let me know if it happens to you with BSB,
ObjectBuilder, or both?  Otherwise, glad to hear the locked points and
comma list will work for you!
