Zoom with the wheel and set the loop on its own strip in music tabs
The ruler of the Pattern and Song tabs did two things with one drag,
and the wheel did three things with Alt and Shift. Both now do one
thing each, and the Song tab gets a few edits it was missing.
- The ruler has a loop strip along its top. A drag there sets the
loop, a press or drag below it moves only where playing starts.
- The wheel only zooms: the time over the grid, lanes and ruler, the
rows over the keys, the tracks over their heads. Alt and Shift no
longer change it. A middle-drag still pans.
- Tracks can be zoomed from 28 to 160 px. Below 46 px a head shows
only its name, M and S. An old saved view gets the old height.
- A click on nothing in the lanes picks the song itself.
- A right-click on an item opens a menu with Delete instead of
deleting it. The inspector has no delete buttons any more.
- A sound item goes up to +12 dB, a track up to +12 dB. A pattern
item stays at 0 dB, since a note is held to unity.
- An end of an item under the pointer lights up and shows a resize
cursor. A long item marks every point where it starts over.
- The Pattern tab has an Audition switch in its header, off at first.
Only with it on does a note sound when drawn, grabbed or moved.
The keys down the left sound either way.
- A looped sound item draws every round alike. Each round is drawn
from its own start, and each column shows the loudest part of the
sound it covers instead of one sampled bucket.
- A song is at least one bar long instead of four. An empty song
fits that bar across, and Play song ends after the last item.
- The ghost notes held back in #334 got their own issue, #339.

Lay patterns and sounds out on tracks and play them as a song #334
Patterns could only be heard one at a time, in their own tab or from a behavior. A song lays patterns and sounds out on tracks along one time axis and plays them through the scheduler of #332, the third piece of the music tools of #330. - New asset type song under the heading Songs, with four empty tracks, 120 BPM in 4/4 and a grid of a bar. Tempo, meter and grid are rows in the inspector. Tracks, items and the loop are the asset's data, held to their rules on load and in every command. - A track has a name, volume, pan, mute and solo. Each is heard on a bus of its own, so a change reaches what is sounding at once. - A pattern item repeats its pattern for as long as it is, with a transpose and another instrument if wanted. A sound item plays its sound as a clip at its own speed, round and round, through a sound FX if wanted. Both have a volume on top of their track's. - Cut back at the left end or split, an item starts as far into what it plays as the cut is: ticks into a pattern, seconds into a sound. - The tab shows the heads with M, S, volume and pan, the ruler of the Pattern tab and the items, a pattern with its notes, a sound with its waveform, a missing asset red. Patterns and sounds are dragged in from the Assets panel. Body, right and left end move, lengthen and cut back, Alt leaves the grid. Ctrl+C/V/D/A, Ctrl+E splits where playing starts, Delete, arrows. A double-click opens a pattern item in its tab. - What is picked is a new selection of its own, so the inspector shows the item or the track, with a button to delete it. - The scheduler plans clips beside notes. Where the playhead starts or jumps back inside a clip, it is taken up that far into its sound. A clip fades out at the end of its item or of the loop. - The editor plays one piece at a time: a pattern started stops the song and the other way round. - The rules are pure functions in core/music/song, editor/song/ songView and songEdit.
