Small thing, big workflow improvement โ€” especially if you're hand-tweaking humanization across a whole pattern section.

It also tells you what it did in the status bar, like "Increased Delay +1 for 64 cells", and the whole thing is one undo step so you

changed the single cell under your cursor. If you selected a bunch of rows across multiple tracks, it still only touched one cell.
Now: Make a selection, hit the shortcut, and it changes every matching column inside your selection โ€”

The Columnizer shortcuts โ€” the ones that let you increase/decrease Delay, Panning, Volume, Effect Number, and Effect Amount values โ€” just got a big upgrade.

โ†’ No selection? Paketti auto-detects the note length from the next note or OFF

It's the same idea as Ableton's CMD+E split โ€” but inside Renoise, with full delay column

**How it works:**
โ†’ Place a note, select the lines it spans
โ†’ Use the new **Split Note** dialog (or assign a shortcut)
โ†’ Drag the slider and watch it split in real-time โ€” triplets, 5-lets, 7-lets, anything up to 64 pieces

Now you can. Select a range in the pattern editor, pick how many pieces, and Paketti does the math. Every piece lands exactly where it should, with sub-line precision via the delay
