A reconfiguration of the pattern editor to include 4 or 8 bar patterns which would do most to make midi comping more true to how musicians actually space out and 'think through' their patterns over larger time frames. Essential for jazz. Along with increased resolution this is the feature that would make people change their minds about midi.

Just now this has to be simulated through use of holds and shots, to get the pianist to 'shut up' or else use blank patterns.

An addition to the number of chord masks applicable to any pattern in the stylemaker.
At the moment Major chord masks get applied to altererd major inappropriately.
In the same way, 7sus masks are currently applied to complex extended dominants like 7susb9#11b13 that sound totally out of place as they're meant for more consonant riff voicings.

m7 masks should also be distinguished from mMaj7.
