Miscellaneous Options

Options that do not fit anywhere else.

Start with empty data

-E <bpm> / --start-empty=<bpm>

Instead of reading from the clipboard, this just creates a empty dataset. Note that BPM is required.
Made for use this with --spawn.

Use Original JSON

--use-original

By default the tool will modify the clipboard data, so when you want to test several variants of the same operation, you would have to undo the paste in the editor and copy the original pattern again.

By specifying --use-original, the tool will instead load the "backup" it created before the first operation. This is passed along in the JSON and will be kept no matter how many operations you apply to the clipboard. The editor will simply ignore the backup, so copying something from the editor will not contain the backup (so it resets the starting point).

This way you can just copy the pattern once from the editor, and then keep running the tool with --use-original, so you can paste, modify parameters, paste, modify, ... without having to undo or copy again.

Note: When You have a multi-step process (ie multiple lines in an action file), only add --use-original to the first one. Else it reload the backup, discarding the changed made by the previous steps.

Filtering

-f <note_or_wall_type1> <note_or_wall_type2> or --filter-types <note_or_wall_type1> <note_or_wall_type2>
and optionally --invert-filter

Most operations support this filter and will only affect the given types.

When you specify --invert-filter, it will affect everything except the given types.

See the Glossary for the note and wall type names this tools uses.
Additionally, the following groups are supported: "notes" (all note types), "walls" (all wall types) and "slides" (all walls except crouch, square and triangle).

Mirror operations for left hand

--mirror-left

This mirrors most operations for the left hand, including movement, stacking, spirals and spikes. Use this when you have a symmetrical input, ie parallel rails.

Note that this only mirrors for left handed notes. Right hand, specials and walls (even "left" walls) will work as usual.
