I’m very happy couple recent updates you made! Sadly i cant still find possibility to strech notes on selection tool ;D Its not so big thing to do.. So why you cant do it? You do almost everything that other users request..

I am considering an alternative tool system, so that’s why I am not making minor changes to the existing behaviour, as this could turn out to be wasted work. What I am considering is to have separate tool selectors for left, middle, right and X mouse button, instead of the current bar of left-click tools. Thus you can select “select” tool for left-click, and pencil tool for right-click, etc. This method is used in some other hosts. I believe Logic Audio uses this type of tool selection.

When you make swing option to us?

Don’t know, but I’m anxious to get working on this myself. My current focus is to streamline the workflow of the existing feature-set, before I start implementing major new features.

Hope the possibility of having the tools on left click will persist somehow. I’m using podium on a tablet pc and left clicking means only putting the tip on the screeen while right clicking or emulating the middle mouse button is a bit awkward, would kind of take the edge of using the pen at all.
The quick button row in the midi editor works extremely well with a pen, faster than in any other app. Maybe something similar, like a definable floating tools palette could stay in podium as an option?
(a floating tool palette would be better than under the menu, because it now gets cut off in portrait mode)

Good idea. More workflow related revisions to Podium will certainly help. There have of course been plenty already but even more will simplify things further. 🙂

All of the mice I own are 2-button mice, with the “middle” being a scroll wheel.

Cheers,

Ever tried clicking the wheel? 😉

Yeah, and I loathe it as a way of triggering actions. I only want to use a scroll wheel for scrolling. 🙂
