LSDJ-like note placement and transposing?

Is there any chance of ever seeing options to accomodate LSDJ-like note placement? I’m not asking to restructure the entire workflow of renoise, but it would be really nice to have the option to input notes and hold a button to transpose each up or down with the arrow keys with a note preview. Being able to hear each note as I step up or down is a great tool for inspiration, and I’d love to see some way of doing that without installing tools that require you to remap the keyboard in a way that makes everything else harder.

Well, not sure if it’s exactly helpful but will add somehting here.
If changing and hearing a single highlighted note is the goal then:

setting the ‘Pattern Note Step Length’ to 0 (ctrl-0),
and then playing in notes via computer keyboard,
may provide some of the desired experience.

This sounds like a combination of transpose and play current row. Could be scripted.

No note preview yet, but my tool value_stepper lets you step any value (including notes) up and down. It was inspired by LSDJ as well. I have it mapped to Alt+Up/Down like you imagine.

thanks for your reply! I found your tool a bit ago, but haven’t tinkered with with it quite yet. Are there any plans to implement note preview in the future?

Hi! as far as i can understand, note preview will become possible for tools, when new API functions are added to a new update.

Is the objective basically “play current row” upon transposing? i.e. you’re on row02, and you have a note as e-4 and do a transpose up, and you hear the same row with f-4?

Yes, I’d like to implement note preview once it is possible with the API.
