Is it possible to record midi keyboard inputs without have the notes automatically quantized? I enjoy playing in a very free manner, but it seems like whenever I record my performances it automatically snaps the notes into a strict beat, often messing up the rhythm. Is there a way to disable this?

Set Quantization in piano roll to 1/192. That's not really random, but I doubt anybody can hear the difference.

( I assume changing that setting changes the snap, I am not 100% sure. If I remember right, I have been playing with it )

Yes exactly as GPS says :)

If LMMS does not have a finer setting than 1/192, would it be better to rename 1/192 to "no quantization"? "No quantization" may not be technically accurate, but it gives a better indication of LMMS' limits, so users don't waste time looking for something that doesn't exist.

I agree. And nobody really needs exact quantization down to that level anyways.

I can follow you a bit of the way, yes 1/192 is functionally 'no Q', but only functionally. If it should be renamed, then code is needed to actually make it really noQ, and not 'just' functionally noQ. I see no reason for having code rewrites, at least natm. where so many other things need to be managed :)
