No, but that's the point - we can't change just the bb-editor now and say "let's worry about other names later" - they all need to be decided at the same time so we're sure they don't conflict and are consistent with each other. > I were also in favour of Step Editor before, diiz, because it sounded > logical and already based on the name of the steps you can edit in the > Beat+Bassline Editor.

And step-sequencing is something that's likely to get improved later on to become even more prominent part of the editor. Just because we offer extra functionality doesn't mean that the naming has to reflect all of the corner cases. I'd probably favour "Loop sequencer" more though. If we look at what the bb-editor actually does, that type of composing/sequencing is often called "loop-based editing" or "loop-based composing" so it would be intuitive and recognizable to users. And bb-tracks are basically just loops, each track plays one set of TCOs on a loop. |
