MIDI Clip 1st Beat Repair

Fixes MIDI notes that start just before a clip's start/loop point and therefore miss their note-on, so the first chord or drum hit actually sounds. If you play piano or program drums, you know the problem: a clip starts on the downbeat but the note (or chord) was played a hair early, so its note-on falls outside the clip and the first beat goes silent. Right-click a MIDI clip → Repair 1st beat, and any note crossing the start marker (or loop start) gets a guaranteed attack at that point. Modes Smart (default) — notes played just-early are nudged in for a clean attack; genuinely sustained notes are split so their body is preserved. Truncate — move the note head to the start point. Split — keep the outside part as a separate note. Cut at the start marker, the loop start, or both (re-attacks on every loop pass). Adjustable smart threshold (1/8–1/64). One undo step, idempotent (safe to re-run). Download: https://rbld.com.br/audio/downloads/midi-clip-1st-beat-repair-1.0.0.ablx Compatibility: Live 12 Beta (Extensions), SDK beta 1.0.0. Known limitations: Operates on one MIDI clip at a time. Notes only — sustain pedal / CC64 and clip automation aren't accessible in the current SDK, so pedal-based sustain isn't handled yet (planned for a future release).
