The piano roll in Podium is almost perfect. However tons of times I have problems with it: I don’t like swich between tools, I do everything with Pencil tool.
With Pencil tool [+Ctrl/Alt/shift] you can do the most of the actions that you usually need, except one: unselect notes.
Aditionaly I think that tons of user would find more useful delete notes with right click, instead double click.
Then my suggestion is:
Please Frits, allow customization of right click in piano roll / drum editor, where two options would be:
– Tools popup (for people that like the traditional menu, as Conquistador)
– Unselect and delete event (this would be ideal for avoid tools swiches)
– Extra action 1
– Extra action 2
– Extra action N
With Unselect & delete event option you could:
– Avoid tool swiching
– Hide tools icons
– Unselect a group of notes right clicking in a emply space
– Less menus in Podium 🙂
– Add notes with left click, delete notes with right click, what could be more inmediate and simple?
I think that a superfast workflow is ideal for those people that do music instead collect a bunch of features/exotic functions
