edit: As in, right now you can only make notes as small as quarter notes in Famitracker. You can make shorter notes with pattern commands or volume envelopes, but this wouldn't allow you to make a rapid succession of notes. You could try to do something with the arpeggiator in the instrument editor but this gives you poor control obviously and you'd need to make a new instrument for every few notes and it would be really hard to get it to sound the way you want.
As opposed to say, OpenMPT where you can just set LPB to 16 and now you can make 16th notes at any BPM you choose.
I don't think there's such a concept as "lines per beat" in Famitracker (I'm not sure if it's presented that way, though). It's all "ticks per line" If you want higher resolution, decrease the amount of ticks per step. Those steps that are quarter notes in your head could as well be 8ths 16ths, 32nds or even triplets. You can increase the speed so far as to have one tick per step. You can change the amount of ticks per step dynamically, so you can compose in a more comfortable way normally, and double or quadruple the speed when you get to more timing critical parts.
So ticks are frames right? We are just counting frames between steps?
Edit: ahh nm I didn't read your earlier post about ticks.

lft had some interesting stuff about the timing of frame players vs bpm in his seminar video. (about 16 minutes in)
You can convert between the two (usually speed 6 in a frame player is equal to 96 clock in midi) , but a frame-based player is only going to have the resolution of the amount of frames between beats. (so speed 6 gives you 6 quantized steps within each beat on which to play a note) A lot of trackers have delay commands to allow you to play on a particular frame within a beat. (EDx in Protracker, for example)
Thank you this is very educational. I was wondering about the difference.

Samesies. My emersion in chip music occurred when I decided I didn't want to be a professional musician. I just like making little tunes, which is well suited for 8-bit.

Remember me guys? I'm proof of all the negativity of this place. I made a shit peace of shit and didn't realize it last year and put it on this site because I was told it was a great place to get started,learn, and because it was "a good idea" and then i got cursed at,falsely accused(was it trolling?) and discriminated. Been lerking and practicing ever since,because,basically,aint no body got time for dat shit.I laugh at it now though,but since then,all I believe there is here is a bunch of jerks with useful information....the worst kind of jerks.
People do have high standards here, and they can have a bad day, and then just be incredulous that you would post your "mediocre music". But they had the desired effect, which is that you went back and practiced more. Post more music when you're more proficient. But some people are just jerks.

I'm very glad to hear that you all like it!
Notes was made with NL 2.3 and a Casio SK-5 using samples from the 2.3 (there's also guitar on the last track).
That's a cool set up. It's got a really loose and crunchy sound, like burial sort of. I like the sparsity too.
Thanks.398 Mar 20, 2013 5:44 pm

Sorry to continue to derail your app's thread, but yeah, I've noticed that, and I find it kind of sad that that's the case that no devs want to work with Google or Microsoft to develop interesting and original (or even ported) apps for their devices. I'll probably just have to suck it up and buy an iPad/iPod Touch when I get the money, but I also kind of don't want to, because that just shows devs and Apple that they can continue with business as usual and continue to ignore Android and WP/Windows 8.
I know it's a bit sucky. My hope is that Windows phone will create an alterative for audio apps. Android doesn't care about audio performance for some reason, but I figure microsoft would.
