Default Playlist matrix like fl studio

Hello guys, i want share with you a idea of a playlist like in fl studio. the idea is that all items have a identificator id and a track where they belong. example : track-1-item-1, track1-item-2, track-1-item-3, track-2-item-1, etc.
And represent this tracks with their items in a playlist matrix, example:

track-1-item-1 [][][][]........[][][][].....................[][][][]....
track-1-item-2 ............[][].......[][]..........[][].......[][].....
track-2-item-1 [][][][][][].............................................
track-2-item-2 ........................[][][]..........[][][]...........


-each track-item = will be the same size (within the track) and you can repeat it a lot of times in the song.
-different track-items within the track can have different sizes and in playlist matrix will has the same times size.
-track group can be of different color for difference of others.
example: track-1-item-1. track-1-item-2 , the track-1 will be green
track-2-item-1, track-2-item-2, the track-2 will be blue.
-each track-item in playlist matrix will has the same time size equivalent that the item in tracks view.
-each track can have multiple items .They will be represented in playlist matrix as subitems of this track.
Bear with me? i really appreciate if you implement this.
Best Regards.

Hello , very fast for work. adding subitems like fl studio you can arm a song in few minutes. mmm may be the idea needs more work , the grid will needs work like matrix with the name of track abreviated by example:
track1-subitem-1
track1-subitem-2
track2-subitem-4
track2-subitem-3
or
t1-item-1 OOOO........0000.....................0000......... ......
t1-item-3 ............0000.......0000..........0000.......00 00....
t2-item-1 0000000000........................................ ......

Default other benefits

-Other things, is that uses small grid that is more confortable for work without scroll in X axis.(many time when we have large projects with a lot of tracks it doesnt reach to look in visible screen and we need to move to right for continue adding tracks and items to song, or in some cases we can use the scroll and click for do more smaller the grid, but loose precision when editing.)
-More precision. You cant make a mistake enabling and disabling cells.
You dont need duplicate or copy and paste same item for many instances in the song. you enable and disable cells only.

Default weight

weight is like in drupal cms, the weight indicate the position in grid by example:

subitem1
subitem2
subitem3

the combobox will be : 1
2
3
you can change the order:
2
3
1

will be:
subitem2
subitem3
subitem1

may be draggable subitems will be better solution, but for a beginning is not so bad

Thanks, not sure if I get it 100% (as I don't know drupal cms), but this is basically some kind of a non-linear, more "pattern-based" workflow (like in FL for example ?), than I'm all for it. Because Reaper lacks something in this area imo.

Default response

time ago i was use sws extensions with regions and playlist, but i found a problem, if you want add new track to current region or do some little change to region you necesary need to clone entire region again. it doesnt like me too much.

Default new image

new image more optimized. cell of playlist matrix needs to be equivalent to item time size, (in the example i was using items of same size)
