"if you have a 100 bar song and repeat ten of the bars 100 times"
Sorry Jim, I don't have time making, or even listening to such songs.

"The Edit > Song Form sub menu is a great example of commands that do not necessarily align with a linear track display."
Well, what is happening in T.View when you use Song Form? Why would it not align? It's likely just reuses parts like loops? Something must be happening there smile

""workaround" available to bypass the restriction."
Get rid of restriction - problem solved. For example, by default it could have 350 bars and if a user would need more, it would have a toaster warning - that generation might take long time - but will not restrict adding more bars.
