I wasn't suggesting to use different logic, I was proposing that "transparency" uses the same logic in an ad-hoc manner (which may mean creating a cached merged region under the hood as an implementation detail), leaving the original MIDI regions alone for independent manipulation (which may trigger regeneration of the cached merged region when it is needed). -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Ardour-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or change your mailing preferences please visit: http://lists.ardour.org/listinfo.cgi/ardour-users-ardour.org
