[MusicTranscribers] Transcribe! new feature ideas for the text area

 

hello Andy,

I forgot to mention another feature i sometime miss in the text area (or that I still didn't find how to do): Text block alignment.

Although ctrl-click lets you create a new text block of the same size of the last selected, the new block is created where the click happens, and often (everytime for me) it is not in line with the previous one...

A "multiple block selection", via the usual shift-click or selection area, and a "align top border" / "align bottom border" could be useful.
A snap grid also would do the work.

And now that I'm writing, it comes me in mind an option for left/right aligning the text block to the nearest beat marker (there have to be some set obviously).
What about using markers (section, measure and beats) as magnetic verical guidelines to snap the text block (or whatever graphic object you plan to insert in the future.) to ?

I hope you find this worth working on for the next releases

regards
Enrico
