Functions

clear(self)

Deletes all lines.

copy_from(self, phrase : renoise.InstrumentPhrase)

Copy contents from another phrase.

line(self, index : integer)

->renoise.PatternLine

Range: (1 - renoise.InstrumentPhrase.MAX_NUMBER_OF_LINES) Access to a single line by index. Line must be in Range: (1 - MAX_NUMBER_OF_LINES). This is a !lot! more efficient than calling the property: lines[index] to randomly access lines.

lines_in_range(self, index_from : integer, index_to : integer)

->renoise.PatternLine[]

Get a specific line range

has_line_notifier(self, func : PhraseLineChangeCallbackWithContext, obj : table | userdata)

->boolean

Check/add/remove notifier functions or methods, which are called by Renoise as soon as any of the phrases's lines have changed. See: renoise.Pattern.has_line_notifier for more details.

add_line_notifier(self, func : PhraseLineChangeCallbackWithContext, obj : table | userdata)

remove_line_notifier(self, func : PhraseLineChangeCallbackWithContext, obj : table | userdata)

has_line_edited_notifier(self, func : PhraseLineChangeCallbackWithContext, obj : table | userdata)

->boolean

Same as line_notifier above, but the notifier only fires when the user added, changed or deleted a line with the computer keyboard. See: renoise.Pattern.has_line_editoed_notifier for more details.

add_line_edited_notifier(self, func : PhraseLineChangeCallbackWithContext, obj : table | userdata)

remove_line_edited_notifier(self, func : PhraseLineChangeCallbackWithContext, obj : table | userdata)

column_is_muted(self, column : integer)

->boolean

Note column mute states.

->renoise.Document.Observable

set_column_is_muted(self, column : integer, muted : boolean)

column_name(self, column : integer)

->string

Note column names.

column_name_observable(self, column : integer)

->renoise.Document.Observable

set_column_name(self, column : integer, name : string)

swap_note_columns_at(self, index1 : integer, index2 : integer)

Swap the positions of two note columns within a phrase.

swap_effect_columns_at(self, index1 : integer, index2 : integer)
