Since BIAB also has Staff Roll Notation mode for displaying actual durations,
it might be a good option for future version to display notes in Editable Notation
mode as if the notes were 100% duration, while preserving the actual durations.
For most notes in this mode, you can't see the actual duration anyway.



Band in a Box has had just such a feature for years.

To the right of the Edit Notation button is Staff Roll Notation mode button.

If you click that, each note on the staff will have a Vertical blue line and a Horizontal blue line appended to it. This is a graphic representation of the Velocity (Vertical Line) and the Duration (Horizontal Line). The view also includes the dotted vertical lines for the beats and subdivision of the beats, just like in the standard Editable Notation mode.

Just grab the line you wish to change for a note and drag it with the mouse and release the button.

The vertical subdivision lines makes it a snap to change Durations to suit what you wish to see. Just make certain that the Options is set to Even for even feel such that you get the 4 vertical lines when needed to subdivide in other than Swing feel, which divides by 3 instead of 4. Not setting that correctly can result in note durations that are undesirable - and if set properly in the first place likely avoids having to edit each note one at a time anyway. This is something that I think a lot of folks don't grasp and is likely the underlying reason for a lot of note duration problems reported.

Fast way to Edit Duration of long strings of notes or the whole thing if necessary.
