More unresolved thoughts…
A current list of time palettes I like or would like to work with.
Standard or Beats: BPM dependant such as 1/256; 1/128; 1/64; 1/32; 1/16; 1/8; 1/4; 1/2; 1/1
Time or Minutes: Miliseconds, seconds (I don’t use this as much as I would like to, perhaps this method is more appropriate when working with films or videos in general, film and video being the dominant time holder whilst audio playing the supporting role)
Samples or Fractions: I find the Slices to Pattern tool more flexible than the Fractional Notes tool
Technically Pattern Zoom somewhat exists, if you compose in the Sample Editor with the Slices to Pattern tool, not exactly straightforward ?
but it has been an available alternative option since both implementations have gone public.
It was the inspiration for the “Snap To Selection In The Sample Editor” suggestion.
If it was going in that direction and further developed, then I would also suggest an auto mark/slice an automated BPM with a chosen beat such as 64th notes or 16th notes
