Variable track height in Playlist plus mouse buttons

[traumatek]

Apologies if this has been requested already, but would it be possible to have adjustable heights of different playlist tracks
ie. I often want audio large(zoomed in), but midi tracks thin.
Again, this is common on other audio sequences (ie. Acid for one)

I'd also still like to see better use of the mouse buttons
It seems crazy to me to have one button do nothing with either the pencil or the lasso

My proposal is:

Left button - draw a note, or alter length (as for pencil mode now)
Right button on a note - delete
Right button on empty space - act as a lasso to select - exactly as lasso right button does now

This would save any need to keep switching between pencil and lasso buttons!
It combines the two current functions, which both waste a button and could be done as one.
Any reason not to Rich??

1. It does.
2. It does.
3. It does, if you hold down CTRL key.

Insert a bunch of notes into the pianoroll with pencil
right click away from the notes - does nothing - this could be used as a lasso
Instead, to lasso, you have to switch to lasso, select etc
Then go back to pencil again
- why waste a mouse button for a longer approach??

my proposal - combine the two - get rid of pencil/lasso

Off a note:
L-click equals draw a note (as now for pencil)
R-click equals start lasso selection area (as now for lasso L-click)

notes selected:
L-click - move (as now for lasso R-click)
R-click - delete (as now for lasso R-click)

On a note:
L-click equals move note (as now for pencil)
R-click equals delete note (as now for pencil)**

Same functions - all done in one tool
I cant see why anyone would not want this??

'Right button on empty space - act as a lasso to select - exactly as lasso right button does now'
that's good, thanks
but why not ALSO use the Right mouse button that currently does nothing??

** ah, it does mean it wouldnt be possible to lasso a selection from ON a note.
so - the workaround would be to keep both tools, but just enable lasso from R-click on the pencil TOO?
ie. doing exactly what CTRL does

It's because of that last part you wrote.

I think it's done like this as a measure of prevention, to avoid having lots of people coming here angry and saying how they accidentally started deleting notes in PianoRoll or whole bunch of patterns in the Playlist.

heheh, yeah

no thanks

wasted buttons and having to move back and forth are, well, a waste IMO

but the keyboard ctrl+shift with pencil does what I need - even if it is harder to find
