Description
### Enhancement Summary
The only way to change the length of a note in the piano roll is by dragging the end of a note. It would be cool if one could also change the length of a note by dragging the start of the note.
This would useful for creating arpeggiated chords and resizing notes that span several whole notes.
### Implementation Details / Mockup
As of right now, there is a bright green bar at the end of each note. Hovering over it turns the mouse icon into a two headed arrow and allows the user to change the note length. Placing a similar bright bar at the beginning of the note that has the same function would work here as well.

Research direction
Start with the piano roll implementation and trace the existing interaction for dragging a note's end, as described in the issue. Add equivalent behavior at the note's start while preserving the existing end-resize behavior. Done means a visible start handle lets users resize notes from the beginning for arpeggiated chords and notes spanning several whole notes.
