Dear MusE-Community,

in my efforts on the audiostreams branch, I am going to support proper
Wave-with-Midi-alignment. That means:

- When you alter the tempo map, then Wave and Midi parts stay in sync.
  Their position, relative to each other, does not change.
- Consequently, all times are stored in MIDI Ticks. Of course, these
  ticks must have a fractional, to achieve accuracy.
- Wave parts can be stretched in order to stay in sync. You also can
  set it up to NOT stretch certain wave parts. In this case, their start
  position will sync up with MIDI, however while playing, they'll played
  in original tempo. While this is unfeasible for recorded music, this
  may be desireable for effects.

Previously, markers, and some other things could be set up to be
"tick-aligned" (they'll always be at the second measure, no matter what
the tempo map says), or "frame-aligned" (they'll always be at one
minute, thirty seconds and a half).
This was called LOCK.

I'm about to remove this locking feature. Because I think, it's less a
"feature" but more a neccessary evil to make MusE usable. Well, it's not
neccessary any more, I think.

However, I'd like to hear your opinion about this: Is there any reason I
might have missed, for keeping "time-locked" positions, instead of
making everything elastic, and under control of the tempo map?

My thought was: IF someone wants "time locks", then he will never change
the tempo map anyway, so my changes aren't an issue for him.
But I better ask.

Please help me :)

Cheers,
flo
