No, but that's the point - we can't change just the bb-editor now and
say "let's worry about other names later" ­- they all need to be decided
at the same time so we're sure they don't conflict and are consistent
with each other.

Regardless, that's the primary mode of operation for the editor. And
step-sequencing is something that's likely to get improved later on to
become even more prominent part of the editor.

Just because we offer extra functionality doesn't mean that the naming
has to reflect all of the corner cases.


I'd probably favour "Loop sequencer" more though. If we look at what the
bb-editor actually does, that type of composing/sequencing is often
called "loop-based editing" or "loop-based composing" so it would be
intuitive and recognizable to users. And bb-tracks are basically just
loops, each track plays one set of TCOs on a loop.
