I have now got the development version of qtractor, which of course has the new Resize "legato" option.

This does not seem to work quite as hoped. Instead of joining each note to the subsequent one (regardless of pitch), it seems only to join a note of a given pitch to the final note of the same pitch, if there happens to be one.

Also I am wondering whether a percentage is the right way to specify the gap between notes - it rather depends on what it is a percentage of.

What I originally had in mind was a way of specifying that a selected series of notes should either join each to the next (i.e. NoteOff for note 'n' coincides with NoteOn for note 'n+1') regardless of pitch, or that one could have a consistent gap between successive notes. By 'consistent' I mean that the gaps should be equal in time, regardless of the horizontal spacing of the notes. The gap could be expressed as time, or better perhaps as a percentage of a beat, but it shouldn't be a percentage of the note-length, otherwise slow notes would be more separated than quicker ones.

I also think that it might occasionally be useful to have the option of specifying a "negative gap", i.e. a slight overlap between notes, perhaps by specifying a percentage greater than 100%.
