I often end up in patterns which start off-beat, and fixing those off-beat patterns is quite a pain in Renoise.
Heres a small tool which makes that easier by rotating pattern content: Shifting content up and down, wrapping at the pattern borders. Either whole patterns, a single track in a pattern, or selections in a pattern can be shifted. Automation optionally can be rotated as well.
There are also keyboard shortcuts to quickly rotate rotate selections in a pattern.

If someone finds this useful, Iāll test this a bit more add this to the tools page.
Btw: Is ārotateā or āshiftā the correct term, or how should such a āwrapping shiftā be called?
I think āshiftā is more common. ārotateā, in my mind, indicates an exchange of something, like rotating players in sports or rotating the tires.
Thanks looks like a great tool. Either name is fine I thinkā¦ for me rotate is a more apt and descriptful name, but maybe not to people who arenāt acutely aware that it is actually rotating the content just like a panoramic image or whatever. Maybe you can call it shiftate, rotashift or something else like that. Who says you canāt please everyone.
I re-installed the stepqequencer, and that one seems fine now.
But other scripts (ircclient, preclick, stepsequencer) started to sporadiccaly popup the same message: "Expected a āldā value in the form āabc.def.ghiā even after rebooting.
So, maybe manifest.xml seems to be modified after all, but by what?
Cycler, cyclic, cycle are words that would make sense to me for this tool. Remember Melon Tracker on the Amiga? They had slight gradiented shading/darkening on the top and bottom of the pattern display which gave the nice illusion that the pattern was scrolling round on an actual piano roll (like in old Western movies, not a DAW piano roll), or a Tibetan prayer wheel, or something. That would be a cute little feature for Renoise, and anyone who takes a glance at Melon Tracker (AKA Heart Tracker, but Melon used it internally for prods and then released it) will see why words like ārotateā and ācycleā make a certain kind of sense in this context.
