Midi Editor Improvements

[Joe90]

Some features of Reaper's midi handling are really awesome, especially the amazing third party scripts (looking at you Kawa and Julian). However, there are few things that the midi editor has sorely needed for years -

1. Top of the list for me is probably marquee zoom and being able to adaptively divide the grid vertically by measures like we can in the arrange page. This would make navigating the midi editor much more user friendly.

2. All the actions that don't work on all editable takes while in the midi editor. As documented here -

I run into this issue every day, it's so frustrating because it's impossible to memorise which ones from the long list of midi actions actually WORK on all editable takes, and which don't.

3. This midi tick issue - https://forum.cockos.com/showthread....24#post2225324
(The only reason that one is low on the list is because I've now made an extremely long and over complicated custom action that realigns an item to the global midi tick and quantizes it to the grid, the disadvantage is that it needs to be glued, so you lose any other takes in the items)

4. Intelligent zooming when a midi item is opened for editing for the first time (from then on it should remember previous zoom level). This might be a HiDPI issue - My secondary screen is 1080 and my main one is 4k, and when I move the main window onto the 1080 screen and open a midi item it is intelligently zoomed to a reasonable size, on the 4k screen it's always vertically zoomed out SO far.

5. More of a bug than a FR, but when 'correct overlapping notes' is on, muted midi notes often seem to take precedence over unmuted ones (I often see this when duplicated a set of notes, and one of them falls on the same note but it's muted, the unmuted one gets 'corrected' and removed and the muted one remains).

Anyway - I don't think any of this is new information, but I'm throwing this out there in the hope that the devs might be gently nudged into taking a look at some of these issues sooner rather than later.

Thanks.

I have recently started a similar thread as well. It would have been beneficial if we could merge all those midi editor requests into one big thread for devs to check out: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=237057

Yeah I'll do that - mods, feel free to delete this one.
