I have two main goals I want to achieve. I want to be able to have a beatmap's beats be placed along the x axis with the same distance as the timeline, but not be along the y axis. I'm mainly trying to use the y axis as the pitch of the beat, and the x axis as the proper spacing. I also want to make a storyboard element where a ball is bouncing up and down on a floor, and I wish to keep its speed constant along the x axis.
So can there be a special distance snap within the Compose and Design tabs of the editor? Maybe two checkboxes can be placed near the distance snap button when it is turned on, and the checkboxes are used to designate snapping to the x/y axes. Something similar could work for the Move function under the Transformations.
What do you guys think?
EDIT: I want to add in something related to what An64fan said. Maybe have sets of pathlengths to choose from for Move functions. Choose circular/parabolic/rectangular/etc. shape, resize and reshape, and choose a start point on the shape, and another point on the shape on a different spot on the timeline to have a set move speed. Then, turn on Easing in between movements if necessary.
