Some slight deviations in teminology, but I think I understand - you want to
be able to ghost at the bar level, or at least, set different loop points
for a ghost pattern from the real pattern.
Either of these is theoretically possible, though if you ghosted at the bar
level, you would only be able to have a pattern made of a contiguous subset
of a source pattern, in the original bar order.
Loop points and pattern length are stored uniquely for each pattern, but a
ghost always has its values synchronised with the real source.
It may be a little complex to fit that into the UI - there would need to be
some extra save as option to save as a sub-ghost.
