Common sense improvement of Beat Time Ruler
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:49 am
1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 16 - 32 - 64 - 128 - 256.... pretty simple stuff you would think. (Intuitive for musicians and hacks.)
But Live complicates it with numbers like 1 - 3 - 5 - 9 - 17 - 33 - 65 - 129. I always have to do the extra step in my head of subtracting 1. In other words, I don't care that I'm on measure 5, I want to know when measure 4 is about to end.
There would seem to be a simple fix that would allow the more intuitive (divisible by 2) set of numbers to show up on the time ruler:
Instead of aligning the number to the left of each measure, align it to the right. This would mean that when you were zoomed out you wouldn't see 1, you would see 2 and multiples of 2.
Thx
