Rui, hey!

Checked the new version and in my opinion it is very good.

Piano roll.
Great stuff. I think now editing melodies is much more fluent. I really am grateful to you that you decided to try this out and I honestly think that now midi clip editor is top grade.
Just one lil thing there to consider - when you drag the note backwards, perhaps it is not a bad idea to let the note move backwards when it has reached the grid limit. So if the note cannot shrink anymore, since it reached it's smallest setting, instead of shrinking it further to an almost invisible line, like now, the note can move backwards one step. That would allow to fix note position if you placed it in a wrong step.

Also, I see that you've changed cursor behaviour on copy paste. Now the group pastes in such a way that the beginning of the pasted group matches the cursor. That, in my opinion, totally solves copying problem and I have nothing else I would need here - the Ctrl-Shift shortcuts I suggested before are not necessary. In fact, I like this paste method more than what they have in LMMS, so thank you a lot! This is great functionality.

The grid thing - I see that when you copy a group of notes, their positions are preserved relative to each other. I think this is a new thing? Before I remember copying a group of notes would screw things up if some notes were off the grid. So this is good!
But when you move or copy just one note, it still snaps to the main grid. Do you think this can also be corrected?

Also noticed the silent midi clips exiting. When you move it it asks if you want to save it and, as far as I understand, it would save all changed clips if you just save the whole song. Imho, this is a nice solution.
I was thinking - maybe somehow it is possible to mark "dirty" midi clips visually? I do not know how and if it is necessary, but it might be interesting to try out.
But anyway, the way it is now - I think it is pretty much ok.
