MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Adjustable Mouse Wheel Scroll Speed

I'd also really love an update to the scrolling behaviour.
As Erecshyrinol already pointed out, in the current version, scrolling is always defined in terms of the current width of a row (e.g. one line of information, one artist or one album cover art) multiplied by some factor depending on the alt-button being pressed or not. This results in quite fast scrolling but feels rather glitchy, especially when scrolling larger elements like albums or artists (screen moves really fast and in large steps). Using a mouse, it is still manageable, but when using the (precision) trackpad, it feels quite unstable.
I think it would be nice to have a smaller scroll increment, not tied to the width of the elements and also completely independent of the current pane. For example in Windows Explorer, it is possible to move the scrollbar by very small increments, which feels very smooth - especially when using the trackpad on a laptop. In my opinion it works perfectly for narrow lines (e.g. detail-view) as well as for large thumbnails or very long lists.
I don't know how difficult or unrealistic this is to implement, and I love your work so much that I'm of course already happy without it. But I think it would be an awesome update, making the program absolutely perfect.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
