then just be real careful warping the 1/4 markers and watch how its reflected in the arranger...
nobody tried this?
it works...

anyway, sometimes i use a combination of viewing the arrangement grid and the clip view for warping. so you could watch the triplet grid above and warp the clip using the straight markers such that the triplets line up above... just an idea

Thanks. That's a great idea! I'll definitely try it. I think it emphasizes that in certain scenarios, even you could use the feature I'm talking about.

How's this?
Take a track that's 120 BPM. Set Live's tempo to 240 BPM. Right click on the first warp marker and execute "warp 240 BPM from here"
Now live interprets your file as being 240 BPM, and gives you twice as many warp markers. Like wise, you could tell it the file was 360 BPM now you get three times the amount of warp markers - triplets!
Would that solve it for you?

Nope...that solution works out to be way too complicated in the real world. Clips won't preview at the right tempo, everything has to be manually forced to warp at 3x the orig tempo...it's too much of a hassle for a real project where I have dozens of tracks and hundreds of clips.

Not about triplets, but you in later posts you were also talking about finer warp marker resolution in general:
-- Set the tempo of you song to 4 times the tempo would want to work with (e.g. 480 instead of 120)
-- Set the global metrum accordingly if you want the click and the arrange grid to make sense (e.g. 4/1 instead of 4/4)
-- Set the original tempo of your clips to 4 times the original tempo (e.g. 480 instead of 120)
-- Set the metrum of the clips accordingly (e.g. 4/1 instead of 4/4)
---> Now you get warp markers in 1/64 resolution when you zoom in on the clips.
Just a workaround, I know, but maybe it helps for the time being.
EDIT:
Ooops, that's what happens if you don't hit refresh on a thread that you opened 5 hours ago.... didn't see the last 3 posts....
Though: Many (not all) loops will preview correctly, and on dragging in from the browser also be guessed correctly (i.e. in the 120bpm example be taken as 480bpm loops, hence play back at a speed that makes sense).
