Make the boundaries of a song draggable in sequence view.

Open trusktr opened this issue 11 years ago • 2 comments

In the "sequence" tab, it is not obvious how to make the song longer by moving the dotted yellow line further down. Making it draggable would be ideal, as well as adding a way to specify the number of beats for the song length as a text input field.

Right now moving the mouse with left-button pressed would set the playback position. Using a modifier key (e.g. shift) to set the end-position would imho be also less discovereable. What could be tries is that when hovering the mouse on the position bar and coming over any of the lines, we draw the lines thicker to indicate that this can be interacted with. Then one can also drag the end-line around. So for the dragging what matters is that what type of line is under the mouse pointer when starting the drag action.

Can't wait to think about this instead of compiling. My new personal Macbook is in the Mail. When it arrives I'll be putting Arch on it and getting back into my comfort zone finally! Less thinking about compiling and more thinking about UI! WoooO!
