perhaps you might not want them in sync. And, eg, a tempo
setting of 50%, would be very handy, even for 4/4'ers like me.
so, just to be
clear, each tempo/meter container could
contain a complete tempo/meter map, not just a single pair
of values?
Only a meter container that is not inside another meter
container can have a tempo track, as else they couldn't
stay in sync. But a first level meter container must (and
automaticaly will) have a tempo track, because otherwise
the timing of everything inside would be undefined.
i dont think i explained myself properly. Can i for example
in your mockup, change from 4/4 to 3/4 at bar 3 *within*
the existing yellow container. I think that would be
neccesary and I'm sure thats what you had in mind.
There could be a setup like in Garageband, where you
have a main
view, and a detail view below where the selection is shown.
I'm not familiar with Garageband, but from the apple.com
screenshots this appears to be a watered down feature of
Logic, where you can have an arbitrary number of arbitrarily
positioned windows showing these "details" (linked edit
windows).
But yes, i mostly agree:-)
