Step Sequencer - how to insert a beat in already created clip?

[Todd Groemling 2]

So it's easy to insert a row, but what about a 'column' or a blank 'bar' or beat...at, say, beat/bar 4? This would  then move what was in beat/bar 4 to beat/bar 5?

-  Unfortunately, I don't think this functionality exists, but I wanted to ask before I request it become a new feature.

Hi Todd,

Simply increase the number of steps.  (see below)

 

Kind regards,

Thank you, tecknot for trying to assist. I see now that I wasn't clear.  Your example shows a set-up with 12 beats having 5 steps. I want to be able to insert a beat in between what already is showing without messing with the timing of what occurs before my insertion. So,  using your example screenshot, let's say I have notes playing on steps 1, 3 and 4 of beat 1 and steps 2 and 4 of beat 2. But I want to move beat 2 to beat 3, so I have a selection of 5 blank steps to work with without losing what I'd already input for beat 2 that has been moved to beat 3.  Essentially I am trying to lengthen a musical phrase and retain existing musical phrases all within the step sequencer.
