[Done B3] Drawing Automation Over Multiple Patterns In One Go

I think this sounds like a fair solution. It is indeed not quite obvious if you have several identical instances of the same pattern in your sequence queue.
It doesn’t yet cover patterns outside the to be processed area that are a dupe of perhaps the first and/or last pattern within that scope.

So if you would change the second option into:
“All patterns from start till end should be made unique (so you don’t mess up repeats).”
It most likely covers any possible inconveniences songwise.

Ok, but if I get Taktik’s idea of “any patterns in between” right then this sounds more fair to those who want to keep the dupes which are not affected by the automation line drawing. Making all patterns unique from start till end can be allready done by command+U (ok, need fisrt to select them all)
But maybe there are good reasons to keep dupes. (no idea I think they make sense to keep a song very small in bytes)

I personally like to make all patterns unique before I go automation or live recording to avoid any unwanted surprises songwise. But it takes manual preliminary steps (where musicians generally tend to loose their nerves, especially myself )
So, in order to rule out any accidental damage caused by dupes I like this suggestion better:
Option: Force All Patterns Unique In the song settings

However the line draw will handle the dupes in the end, thanks a lot Taktik for already bringing more birds eye to the automation in 2.7beta.
