Description

So I searched for a similar feature on the feature request and apparently it seems to nether exist or couldn't find one. Being able to make curves and modify automation in the song editor track of the automation would be a great tool. Cause sometimes its hard to see where the automation begins and ends for the song editor automation when your calculating it via the measuring tool on top it can get a little confusing as what you need. Thats why I suggest similar to other daws out there won't mention its name but starts with an F and ends with en O. They are able to modify automation data within the song editor itself making it much easier to create those smooth and precise automations in such a quick way to doing it too.

Just wanted to say I like the program but having such a feature like this would make automation lots better when using the song editor.
