A really useful nice-to-have now would be Up Down left right key keyboard shortcuts for the PR MIDI editor. To time shift a selection of midi notes or to transpose them up or down.
Also nice to have would be being able to audition any of the piano-keys on the left-hand side piano by clicking on them would be really useful in order to quickly audition which octave is right to place a not in - or just to test which note is on which line before adding a new note.
Personally.... as a total Ableton fan-boy - just replicating how the Ableton piano-roll editor works mouse and shortcut-wise would be cool
but I imagine Logic/Cubase and other DAW users will want things a little their way too... smile
So maybe... switchable options for shortcuts for one's favourite DAW ?- so Ableton or Cubase/Logic etc users can continue to use the same shortcuts they are all used to.

+1
Keyboard shortcuts are a great help once learned.
+1 on having the ability to audition the notes prior to inserting them.

Just to add - It is - of course - common in OSX editing tasks to use the keyboard shortcut CMD-A for SELECT ALL.
Now I realise this has - in BIAB for a long time been allocated to PLAY AND GENERATE - but could we have some solution so CMD-A - at least in PIANO-ROLL mode - gets reassigned to SELECT ALL when we are in the piano roll and reverts to the classic BIAB function when out of piano roll mode ?
Or alternately give the user an option to have CMD-A become SELECT ALL throughout BIAB and instead have a different shortcut for PLAY AND GENERATE ?
I anticipate this piano roll editor will get more and more usage as more people who use OSX DAWs realise what a wonderful feature this it so it would be nice to make the MIDI Editing task as similar and similarly enjoyable to use as similar features in DAWs
And CMD A for "select all" is right at the top of the list.
Congratulations and thanks for finally adding the piano roll feature.
PG Music should really promote this feature heavily - to songwriters, film/media composers and producers. It really offers a new and productive workflow paradigm and should be shouted from the rooftops - as well as being continually improved. !!!!!
