You can also add a "float x" field to the array element structure
("beat"), then each beatline will specify its own spacing and
"spacing" in "beatgrid" will be ignored. Acually you can also delete
the "float y" field, as your beat lines probably don't need to be
moved in vertical direction, at least not as single lines, only as a
group.

Arrays are always sorted. However I understand what you mean, and I
agree that arrays are not useful for that kind of data.

Ah, that's interesting, so you may already have a solution to your
problem. You could try to do the transposing stuff with the same
and working algorithm of the playback stuff. Like playback on speed.
;) You probably have a tempo control. If you play back at a very high
tempo, do you get stack overflows as well? If not, then you should be
able to rework the transposing stuff tobe similar to playback, only
faster.
