There should be way to resize a selected block (with N rows)
by using note delay feature. The resizing to M rows should
happen so that relative lengths of note’s are preserved.
Practical example where you need this:
- You record melody line with MIDI keyboard
- You notice that you played slightly too fast/slow and
the melody only takes 60 rows (and your pattern is 64 rows). - You expand melody so that each note’s length is increased
by factor of 64/60, the event that happens on row X,
will start on row 64/60*X. You can use note delays to
handle fractional parts.
Another example:
- You have created cool sounding track when creating another song
- You want to copy and paste it into another song with slightly
different BPM / pattern length - You want to resize the M-rows track to fit into N row pattern.
Currently there are expand/shrink commands but they only
increase/decrease tracks by factor of 2.0x or 0.5x. When shrinking
selected block there can be overlapping notes/events so there needs
to be some kind of destructive reduction of multiple sounds.
