Great new build Ben. Especially good is the copy paste/over function. This will allow a lot of freedom and creativity for the user.
Following on from this, and forgive me for harping back to a previous request of mine, but would it be possible to enlarge this function to allow an ascii pattern to be pasted (ie from the wealth of already tabbed patterns on the net).
What I'm thinking is say copying a line from a pattern say --o---o---o---o- and have db place a beat space wherever there is a '-' and a default drum or any other character (X or O or whatever). I see it as being used on a scrap bar to see where each beat falls in relation to others and then transcribing from this onto the bar worked on within DB. It would save a lot of to-ing and fro-ing and tedious counting.
It need'nt be a fully blown 'feature' but if it were a reasonably simple thing for you to do and if it could work along the lines of the new cut/paste function I think it would be another valuable asset for the user - certainly for me! :-)
New behaviour for Cut and Paste: these operations now apply to the instruments laid down within beats only; the physical song structure will remain unaffected.
