The discussion continues, no need to worry about being too abrupt. However if
we can't reach a conclusion within some months, I suggest letting the case
rest until next year for a new round of discussions then. There is one
matter which must be decided so we can't let it rest, and that is what we
shall call TCO's for respectively B+B tracks, instrument tracks and sample
tracks. And after that, or at the same time, a term for all TCO's. This is
important because the things need a proper name. For now we are discussing a
name change for an editor which already got a name; Beat + Bassline Editor.
Personally I don't feel like changing the name of the Song Editor now, as I
find B+B renaming more important, but if you think they go hand in hand feel
free to talk about them both.

We can decide that later? Right now they have no collective name, only what
individuals choose to call them. No names or terms in LMMS I have thought
about will conflict. (Btw, grejppi, another reason to have a wiki: to
standardize terms, remember names and shortcuts.)

I were also in favour of Step Editor before, diiz, because it sounded
logical and already based on the name of the steps you can edit in the
Beat+Bassline Editor. Then I changed my opinion as I realized steps isn't
the only thing you can edit in the Step Editor. FL's and Sonar's Step
Sequencer is designed for exactly that, steps, beats, and only that, not
looping melodies. Am I right HDDigitizer? I think that is why LMMS devs
decided to change the name to beat + BASSLINE. (Before it was called
something else, right grejppi?) The word "pattern" suggests repetition, and
it suggests drumbeats too IMO, but is not limited to drums.

Loop Editor is okay, but less descriptive if you ask me. Again, all ideas
are collected in the issue with the same name or in this thread.
