Musical Duration Units in Edit MIDI Note

On the Edit MIDI Note dialog box, IWBNI it were possible to specify durations by using musical durations in addition to EDU's.

For example, the Stop Time of a given note could be specified as:

Stop Time: ___ ( )EDU ( )1/16 ( )1/8 ( )1/4 ( )1/2 ( )whole

With this feature, one could specify that the stop time of a given note is to be 5 quarter notes after its normal notated time by entering 5 and selecting the radio button 1/4. As it is now, one would do this by multiplying 5 by 1024 in order to enter the number 5120 EDU's.

A similar change could be made to other dialog boxes such as Add and Set To.
