Here's a thought (and sorry I didn't comment sooner, but I was *working*. Woot!) I'm not sure about the particulars of the mechanism, but some draggy thing would be a great boon. I think I'd show a bar (or at least a full beat) on the outside of the window outlined by the markers, to give a cue that the active composition is a subset of the total amount of data present. I wouldn't give this cue for anything starting before 0 though, I don't think. What I have in mind is a composition that runs from 0 to 150, and the user wants to work with a window from 50 to 100. I'd show bars 49 and 101 in some kind of translucent or gray or otherwise off-color representation, to indicate that the data is there, but it's not audible at present. Another thing along these lines... The new auto-expanding composition kicks ass, except when it's a pain in the ass. Sometimes I just shortened the composition to 93 bars on purpose, because that's how much room I have, and the last bar really *should* be a brick wall. I'd like some way to lock and unlock the end. It should be unlocked by default, but I'd like some way to pin it in place so that I don't have to keep going back and putting it at 93 over and over, when I go just a hair off the end by accident. No implementation or specific presentation thoughts at this time. I'm really, really tired. -- D.
