Silence notes make absolutely no sense in a modern arranger. They're such a big obstacle. There's a reason they just don't exist in any modern software arranger.
Why not let us just create notes along the fixed "grid" of note subdivisions and move and drag them around freely? Why force us to insert awkward silent notes to create pauses, instead of assuming an empty space with no notes is, surprise, a silence?
As if right now: Want to change a note's position? Better be ready to manually adjust 1, the note 2, the silence note before it 3. the silence note after it
Seriously, check it out. You have to insert a silence note before it, and then MANUALLY CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE SUMS OF FIXED NOTE LENGTHS WITH YOUR MOUSE WHILE HOLDING SHIFT ON A DIFFERENT MENU ON THE PRECEDING SILENCE NOTE, AND THEN REPEAT THE WHOLE PROCESS ON THE TRAILING SILENCE NOTES until the note you wanted to move ahead or earlier offsets in the right place.
Alternative: drag the note ahead or back with your mouse.
It wouldn't even need a major overhaul of Hookpad. Programatically it just seems so absurdly easy to just let us create, drag, and drop notes anywhere on Hookpad's fixed grid and then just transparently add an appropiately sized, invisible silence note on the spaces that might remain between notes as soon as you let go of your mouse button.
if previousNote.end.position != newNote.start.position
{
AddSilence(position(previousNote.End), length(newNote.start.position - previousNote.end.position)
}Please, PLEASE consider adding this.
