Description

Can there be a way to increase/decrease the range of the master pitch slider to above 12 semitones and below 12 semitones to +/- N semitones (where N is user-defined, similar to how adjusting the pitch-bend slider works). It should also be able to exceed that range in the automation editor.

Research direction
Investigate the master pitch slider implementation in LMMS, likely in the GUI component. Identify the current range limits and where they are set (e.g., in a SpinBox or Slider widget). Modify the code to allow user configurable range via a settings dialog or input field. Ensure the automation editor also supports the extended range. Check comments in the issue for any specific implementation suggestions.
