Hey!

So how is the snap "granularity" set? i mean, sometimes i just want to
move a
clip one 1/16, sometimes just a quarter. what do you think about
setting the
granularity at any time (while dragging as well) with for example:
[1] cut in half the current grid density
[2] double the current grid density
[3] cut in third the current grid density or more like third
enable/disable
[4] disable/enable grid

maybe using a second key as modifier, as you said snap <S>. one could
add something
similar for fast zooming into 1/1 1/2 etc... which would pretty much rock.
this way working on clips and zooming in and around the arrangement
is somehow coherent and these are the two tools you probably use most
frequently while editing.

so long...

all the maths stuff I have to study already fried up my brain, hah)
