Description

Would it be possible to add a transpose track function?
The reason is that when you import midi files 0.4.4 breaks up the midi import (leaving spaces in bars where there is no data).
This becomes annoying when you need to transpose a track.
Could it be possible to either:
- Add a knob to transpose a track an octave up or down (in semitones), OR
- Not add spaces in imported midi tracks that have bars with no data.
Thanks for the sweet program.

Paul Giblock: I will think about this as we rewrite the editors in LMMS.

One thing I can do in the meantime is add an option when importing MIDIs to either split or not split on silent bars. We currently have it splitting on silent bars to make the generated project cleaner and more flexible. This can be made optional.
