Hi.
Consider a Structure layout, like so:
Upon playback I find that every section is actually twice as long as I want it to be.
Is there an operation or sequence available that will shrink the entire thing by half.
The challenge could just as easily be the opposite (needing to double it).
I have a vague, possibly incorrect memory of having seen a menu operation to do this, but now I can't find it.

Thanks for your reply.
I think what I was remembering was Stretch Parameter.
This does exactly what I want for a parameter (e.g. works great with Harmony).
Do I take it that there is no such direct equivalent for containers in the Structure?
Could there someday be, or is that too impractical to implement?

That's what the Scale Tempo command actually does. It stretches all phrases. But (unfortunately) it does not adjust the length of the container, so that would need to be done manually. And since the command also changes the tempo by factor 2 or 1/2 that would need to be readjusted as well.

Ah, well, by the time you add those "extras" it's essentially a different operation - one that would be quite useful to have.
If implemented, this will need a name. "Resize Container(s)"? "Stretch/Shrink Container(s)"?
