Nested beat/bassline editors?

[rafaelferreiraql]

Currently, when you add a new Beat/Bassline editor inside a Beat/Bassline editor, it just creates a new Beat/Bassline inside the Song Editor. The way the interface is set up lead me to believe that it should be created inside that same Beat/Bassline editor instead of outside of it, just like the sample track and automation track buttons.

I personally believe nested Beat/Basslines would be great for being able to build patterns out of other, smaller, patterns. If this proposal is rejected for whatever reason, at least that misleading Add Beat/Bassline button should be removed from the Beat/Bassline editor.

The button is there so you can easily add a new B/B track to the Song Editor without having to click out of the B/B Editor, especially if the B/B Editor is maximized.

And those buttons should definitively not be removed!
@rafaelferreiraql - I recommend you to read the chapter about usage of Beat-editor:

It seams to me that you need to understand the reasons for the design.

@rafaelferreiraql I too found it confusing but I don't know a better way and have more or less gotten used to it.

It's actually the same button with the same explanation that does the same thing, it's just placed in a different window...

Having a different button with a different explanation would be misleading too.
