When we compose the notes result to be too exact which
makes the sound machanic and ugly.
Therefore there should be built in an option to shift
the starttime of each note within a range of time. The
same should apply with the duration, which must be
shortened at least of the amount of time, the starttime
was shifted plus a random timevalue within a short time
range.
In short, make the following function:
Starttime and duration of notes should differ a little
bit from their exact values. This should apply pecially
for notes with the same start or ending timestamp.
This way the composition is DE-quantisized a little
bit, less mechanical, more similar to piano-keyboard
input and thus more pleasant.
If you look to a non-quantisized, well sounding midi,
which was created using a piano-keyboard you can easily
see the little time imperfections which give the sound
its life.

It seems this should already be possible through some
combination of grid quantize with swing factor and notation
interpretation, but I never produced a result that
scattered the start times perceptibly. Hrm.

No, you can't really make the start times less uniform
using any of the current quantize methods (for a
reasonably flexible definition of "uniform" anyway). They
all tidy things up, according to some fairly simplistic
schemes, rathen than untidy them.
