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. >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:-) -- Tim Orford
