Default Note Properties: Note length in Tics

Is there any chance to show the note length in "Tics"?
And adding sort of an arrow up and down function to lengthen or shorten a value?

I am doing arrangements for automatic musical instrument and the editing workflow would be so much easier. There is an old Atari editor called Midicord, who has a lot of such features.

Change the MIDI editor ruler timebase to Measures.Beats.MIDI ticks (it's in Options menu of the MIDI editor).

There are actions to shorten or lengthen the selected note(s) by one grid unit, I suppose that's what you could use (provided you set the grid size to an adequately small value you want to use). Assign them to whatever keys you want in the Action List.

I tried this, but it still does not show the length of a note in tics.
If you draw, let´s say, a quarter note, it shows up in the editor box as: 0.1.00 and not as 960 tics.

960 ticks is one beat, so of course it will show as 0.1.000, as it is correct.

Try 0.0.480 and you will get an 1/8th note then. It works as intended.

The MIDI Inspector script (which is part of ReaPack) can display note length in various formats, including ticks:



(It also improves on REAPER's native Properties windows in several other ways.)

But so far, I think, there's nothing that displays note lengths right ON the note in piano roll, the way, for example, "velocity" can be toggled to display on every note in piano roll?
