Description
Right now the [Pitch Bend step size is 0.5](https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/blob/29f832034ae04301d49b7f2fe087a0bab7ef57aa/src/core/Note.cpp#L215) which, since a step of 1.0 is a whole note, equals to 50 cents detuning. That's a bit coarse. Previously the step size was 0.1 which was changed in https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/pull/111 because it was hard to dial in even notes without using the vertical zoom.
Maybe we can have a key switch to change step size to 0.01 to correlate with the 100 cents per note tuning paradigm to allow for some finer pitch bend?

Research direction
Start at src/core/Note.cpp around the Pitch Bend step-size logic linked in the issue, then review pull request #111 for the reason the current value was chosen. Determine how a finer or switchable increment should be exposed and verify that pitch-bend editing supports the intended precision without disrupting note entry.
