The last few times I've posted suggestions, it turned out my suggestions were already features in LMMS (albeit, kind of well-hidden ones). So if that happens, I'm sorry (but also not, because that means I won't have to wait for it ).
So I really like making beat patterns that are more than one measure long. When I'm in 4/4 time signature I feel like one measure for a beat pattern to loop back on itself is usually inadequate for what I want to do, so I usually end up having to double-click to open the piano roll to do multiple measures. This can get really tedious, and also difficult depending on how complex the beat is since you have to program each voice separately. I'd like to be able to program more than one measure worth of drum pattern without having to open the piano roll.
The only way I've found to sort of do this is to change the time signature to 4/2 and halve the tempo (or 8/4 etcetera), but doing this comes with its own batch of annoying complications and is kind of counter-intuitive.
Any thoughts?
