Description
So one problem I have with the automation tracks as they are is that they lack control for the endpoints. It's impossible to get the curve to start or end going strait upwards, which can sometimes be what you want to do, and the only way to do this at the moment is with a lot of points. I think that bezier curves would be able to solve this problem, and make the automation tracks easier for newcomers and seasoned users alike.
Here's a rough idea of what I'd imagine it would look like:
I can do the coding, but what do people think? Anything you would add/change to this?

Start by locating the automation-track implementation in LMMS and review the issue discussion and example images before choosing an interaction design. The work is done when automation curves support controllable endpoints, including curves that begin or end vertically, without requiring many points.
