There was a talk about this in another topic but I wanted to create a topic with this specific title for the record.
There is the data wheel to modify the selection so I don’t see this as a horrible change. Being able to go to the next bar backward or forward when the sequencer is running or recording could open a lot of new possibilities.
For example when creating long sequences, when sequencing with MIDI, when using song mode or if one day a feature like render song to sequence is added.
