Changing bpm messes up automations

Pretty self explanatory title.

I wish automations would stay in their relative position like MIDI notes. As it stands, changing the bpm of my songs is a huge pain because of heavy automation use. Is there a reason or backstory for why automations would shift like they do?

As I know, there’s no possibility yet in ardour. All that we have today only an option to drag automation of audio track with an audio (“Edit>Preferences>Editor>Editor Behavior>Move relevant automation when audio regions are moved” - option must be activated), but this works only with audio. For midi clips there’are no any relevant automation things at all.

Thanks for the response.

As for the checkbox you pointed out, it was already checked and does not prevent automations on an audio track from getting shifted on a bpm change.

As for MIDI tracks, they do have automation lanes and they also shift on a bpm change. Notes do not shift. They stay perfectly relative to the measures and beats, which is great.

Anyway, I hope this is something the developers are aware of.
