Recording Midi file

Hey, sorry for the late response.

Check if the start_recording() method is being called by adding a print statement there, and then check the console to see if it's being displayed when you start recording.

If you're trying to declare self.messages_to_save under __init__, you have to declare it as a dictionary first:

self.messages_to_save = dict()
self.messages_to_save["main"] = []

Just to be sure, are you using the latest version of the code?

Hey @onlaj,

Since the new update doesn't solve my problem about recording the Midi files, I manually debugged the code again. The problem is neither rooted in the __init__ nor in the start_recording()-function, but in the save()-function of your savemidi.py file.

In the start_recording(), you initialise the self.messages_to_save like this:

self.messages_to_save = dict()
self.messages_to_save["main"] = []

But in the save()-function (line 71) you reinitialise it like:

self.messages_to_save = []

which means, that messages_to_save is no longer a dict, but an array. However, at this point you need to reinitialise it like:

self.messages_to_save["main"] = []

I manually updated my code and now everything works perfectly.

I used self.messages_to_save = [] to only clear the content inside. I guess better way would be to just use clear(). It shouldn't matter tho because in the start_recording() it is reinitialised back to dictionary with self.messages_to_save = dict().
I have no clue why it's not working for you.

I see. Well, I don't know what's going on either. But now it works, so feel free to close the issue.
Great work by the way. I really love your project.
