Description

Since we have some support for playing around sample tracks (for example:- shortening the sample track from both sides, extra snap in the song editor, etc), people would like to drag samples as sample tracks especially those who are coming from FL Studio (also, LMMS is considered as a free FL Studio alternative).

I think it can be implemented like dragging the sample while holding down ctrl or something like that.

I would like to know your thoughts on this one.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing sample-dragging behavior and the song editor's input handling. Determine how a modifier such as Ctrl could distinguish sample tracks from ordinary samples, and consider the feature complete when samples can be dragged into the song editor as editable sample tracks without breaking existing dragging.
