what i suggest: a new button IN the piano roll, next to pencil, etc. when we select the notes, we click that button which is called "extract to a new pattern" and these notes:
1. moved to a newly created pattern.
2. automatically positioned on the play list where our original pattern is. of course, better on a separate additional track.
for me it would be quite a good improvement. because my working cycle is making a pattern with multiple instruments. it sounds great and then i need to make different versions of the pattern with/without certain parts of it. and then i need to extract 1 or 2 instruments, copy-paste, reposition which means i lose time for mechanical useless things.
thanks
