Basically, a function to renumber your pattern IDs so they look more organized and consistent in the Frame Editor. (With side benefits for text export.)
- FT starts scanning the current song from the top (frame 00)
- For each pattern that is encountered the first time, renumber its pattern ID as = frame ID (actual notes in this frame are not changed, we're just remapping the pattern ID numbers). If this pattern is used repeatedly, find all subsequent instances and change them to reflect the new pattern ID.
I see what you mean here. So, basically, you'd be able to use the frame editor to compose a song, then clean it up with that to make it look like you only used the new frame function. That seems like it'd be mainly aesthetics, at least to me.
Yup it is mostly aesthetics (as are most cleanup functions), but it does also have a practical application if you need to Text Export, since exports are ordered/grouped by pattern ID rather than frame ID.
