I'm agreeing with this line of thought--leaving triggered segments as we know
them.
Sym-links...as I re-proposed in my last post would have its source on the track
canvas and RG's global time would apply to it.
If the user wishes to put a sym-link segment that is one measure of 4/4 in the
composition that the meter is 7/8, that should be there right. Users can do
this kind of thing already with regular segments.
I see no conflict. I think the notation editor will barf of on any notes whose
duration would cross the measure line, but the matrix editor would be fine, I
believe.
Sincerely,
Julie S.
