This is not something that non-sequencer was designed to do or is good at, but since patterns have unlimited length in NS you can kind of do linear recording by having NS in pattern mode and recording into a single, very long pattern. Actually, if all the patterns are as long or longer than your song, then you've effectively got a linear sequencer where each pattern is a 'track'. Not a very good one though ;-)
