visual distinction for empty patterns in SEQ page

[LostForWords]

I've only had mine a few days but have been thinking about this problem (and solution) and then found this topic. I too would like to see an option where tracks don't look up to play the nearest pattern above when a row is started.

For me a ** would be a quick and easy way to define this. For sketching ideas or live performance I can see it's great to have a number of "songs" on one project but when you move from something with 8 tracks to just 2 tracks (as start to build something new) it requires a lot of empty patterns to stop this look up behaviour.

Or how about 2 empty rows means a wall that separates from blocks above. The UI could even draw a solid line across as an indication. This would be even quicker than adding ** across unused tracks. Just my thoughts.

I am not into walls ... ;-)

However. I don't think thats a too bad idea. Not specifically after 2 empty rows ( as 2 empty rows can mean a lot ).
But maybe, that one can set her/himself a wall.
