Summary	0001022: question about grid (and zoom)
Description	why while zooming in the grid doesn't increase detail? at higher zooms (i.e.: a bar fills the entire viewport) is useful to have a grid subdivided by 1/16 bar. it could be pretty nice if those lines (dis)appear gradually (i.e.: from transparent to opaque) while changing zoom. ANOTHER SUGGESTION: when dragging on the timeline to move playhead, it could be useful map the y axis to the zoom, so you can zoom and locate pieces of audio quickly.

Could be labeled "Lines follow grid" perhaps. It seems the resolution lines are displayed according to the zoom level anyway now (zoom out lots, and the lines merge), but only up to one beat when zooming in.
