I have now had a chance to try out v.0.9.36.13, and the quantization seems to work as I expected. But, with respect, I don't see why this might be useful.

Suppose I have a phrase of music which consists of a semibreve (whole note) and then a number of quavers (eighth notes). I want it to sound articulated, as it would be if played by a wind or bowed string instrument when there is no slur marked in the score. I therefore need a gap of, perhaps, 1/8 of a crotchet beat between each pair of notes. This gap is 1/4 of the length of the short notes, but only 1/32 of the long one. If I set the gap to 75% then the gaps after the short notes will be just as I want them to be, but I shall get a gap lasting a whole beat after the opening note, which is not at all what I want. Quantization of the time interval doesn't address this, so far as I can see.

So I still think that specifying the gap as a proportion of a beat (not a proportion of the time-spacing of the respective notes) would be more useful. Of course, I don't always understand what other people find useful so I suppose that I may be suggesting something that nobody else would ever use.

Meanwhile in my main project, I have tried using the new system for a passage which consists entirely of quavers in the cello part. The tool is brilliant: I used it 2 or 3 times before I found the right length for the gaps to sound natural. Unfortunately, as things are, I can't easily use the system for passages which don't have notes spaced at equal time intervals.
