--[[
  midigrid_lib.lua -- shared library for the MIDI Grid quick-entry mode.

  Design notes:
    * No window, no gfx. All feedback goes through OSARA speech.
    * The cursor is Reaper's OWN edit cursor (time) plus the MIDI editor's
      active_note_row (pitch). We never keep a private cursor, so grid mode
      and normal OSARA editing can be interleaved freely.
    * Grid size is read from MIDI_GetGrid(), so the user's existing
      grid-size keybindings (1-9 in the MIDI editor) drive it.
    * Persistent state is only: active, hold, root, scale, vel, chan.

---------------------------------------------------------------- time shift

--[[
  Move every note in the take by whole grid cells.

  Because the entire take moves together, notes cannot collide with each
  other -- the only thing at stake is the item's boundaries. Notes pushed
  outside them are not deleted, they simply stop sounding, and shifting back
  the other way restores them. The safe variant still refuses, because
  silently silencing part of a clip is exactly the kind of thing you want to
  be told about rather than discover later.

  Positions are converted through QN rather than offset in ticks, so a shift
  stays musically correct across tempo changes.

  Returns moved, outside. moved is nil when the shift was refused.

--------------------------------------------------------------- note length

--[[
  Grow or shrink the note under the cursor by whole grid cells.

  This is how you sustain notes that already exist. It is deliberately
  independent of hold mode -- hold mode governs how *new* notes join as you
  enter them, whereas this edits an existing note's length in place, so it
  preserves velocity, channel and note identity. Toggling a note off and on
  again to make it join would silently reset its velocity to the default.

  Extending swallows any same-pitch notes it runs into, absorbing their tail
  if they reach further than the new end, so growing a note across repeated
  notes fuses the run rather than producing overlaps.
