UX - more granular time-zoom level #312

Hi,

When I follow other DAWs tutorials on Qtractor, one thing that always get me lost is the position of the elements I'm working on the track. It can be an audio sample or a midi note. It's certain that I will spend time trying to figure it out where to place things.

I noticed that most of the DAWs have a more granular time zoom level. Here are some examples from Ableton:

And here is from Qtractor:

Notice that Ableton shows 1.2, 1.3.1.4 and so on. If Qtractor could be granular as that, it would be consistent with other editors, and it would be an additional UX improvement in my opinion.
