No context menu for Note Tracks
Last modified: 2018-08-20 11:45:56 UTC
The Vertical Scale for Note Tracks is now inconsistent with what we now have for audio tracks - where we recently introduced a context menu (for simple vertical zooming) activated by a right-click in the vertical scale. With Note tracks the right-click still invokes negative zooming (old, previous , behavior for audio tracks). I see no reason why we should have such an inconsistency now between these two track types a) we had consistency previously b) almost all the audio-track context menu commands can readily apply to Note tracks, with the exception of "Half Wave" In particular we really could do with the "Zoom Reset" for Note tracks - it's darn hard to get back to normal zoom after a lot of zoom ins near the top of the VS.
Steve wrote via email: A third inconsistency is Time Tracks, which uses "drop down menu > Range" to set the vertical zoom. I agree that vertical zoom actions should be consistent for all track types that are "zoomable" (label tracks are not zoomable vertically). ... there may still be changes to how vertical zooming is handled in audio tracks (we don't yet have a "reference implementation").

(In reply to Peter Sampson from comment #2) Setting the "Range" in Time tracks is equivalent to vertical zoom/pan. It's a way of expressing the upper and lower limits of the vertical range, just as vertical zoom and pan are.
