feature request Enable/Disable Non-Destructive MIDI Editing

[sjoens]

When Non-Destructive MIDI Editing is enabled, it causes (for me) unintended issues with pasting notes in clips.

Request to either fix issues described here or include a keystroke to enable/disable it.

Not everything unexpected is a defect that needs to be 'fixed'. 95% of the time I find this setting to be unnecessary, and it is disabled by default. Basically all it does is use slip-editing to 'mask' partial copies/moves/deletions instead of 'destructively' truncating clips and removing events. This is why you get the result you described, and why I suspected immdiately that was the cause. I can't really envision a workflow scenario in which one would need to be going back and forth between the two modes often enough for it to be controllable with a shortcut. I suggest you leave it off for a significant amount of time and see if you really miss it. Having Sonar's behavior constantly change in different contexts due to toglging setting that are meant to be persistent is a recipe for confusion and inefficiency.
