Hi all!
The note brush in Ardour 9 is really cool, but I can not find a shortcut to set the global quantize.
Is there a way to avoid the edit dropdown menu?
Not currently. But I still want to revisit this design, because I fully acknowledge it’s clunkiness. The problem is that note brushing requires three parameters and I’m reluctant to add another item in the MIDI “toolbar” just for the third … but that might be the only way.

Yea, better avoid additional toolbar elements. How about following the editors snap, instead of the global? That way, the information is visible, existing shortcuts can be used (5,6) and no additional element has to be added into the toolbar.
Editor snap is already used, to decide where the first note’s start will begin. Brush requires:
- location of first note start (possibly snapped to a grid)
- note duration
- stride or gap duration
This does not compute with me brain. To me it looks like the information should be available as soon as I draw set the firs note.
snap value (1/4 in the screenshot) = gap duration
length = note duration
Of course I have no clue about the code side of things, but everything seems to be available right there.
where does the first note start ?
Wherever the mouse is clicked, optionally snapped to the grid, just like any other drawn note without holding shift.
Right, but “optionally snapped to grid” means that the snap value is already being used. You might want the note snapped to 1/16ths, but want a gap of 1/8th, etc…
