is there any support for unmeasured, unstructured music?

[quote="Snarf"]Not to be a smartass, but this is something you might want to try out...

Yep, dear old paper... you are free to do what you want with it, in every sense! But since computers killed typewriters, I do not see why they should not kill music paper. BTW the reason why I make unmeasured music is I set existing poems into music, most of the time adding one note per syllable. Some poems are unmeasured too.

Ah I see. That's why audio recording would make sense for you. If you have a midi keyboard, you could record yourself playing "tempo libero" and you wouldn't have to worry about any of the limitations of the piano roll.

If I hide bars, will I still be able to set arbitrary repeting points, e.g. not starting or ending at a vertical bar?

If you hide the grid, and use the loop-markers

https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=So ... k_Controls
(scroll down to Loop-points )
-to set the start point and endpoint of your composition, then lmms will loop inside the area controlled by the loop-makers, and ignore all vertical bars
You can set a loop-marker at any pos if you hold ctrl as you drag the marker. You will still be able to read-out the precise pos of the play-head in the display, so even without neither grid or default loop-pos. you would still know where you musically were in your project.

Obs! song-editor and piano-roll have own sets of loop-markers, and they are independent in behavior -Eg you need to set both, if you use song-editor and piano-roll

but it possible to automate change this loop points? or change to other pattern to play (by midi events).
if it possible can you provide example?

No loop-points cant be automated
You cant 'jump' between patterns, so thats also a No.
