Re: The track based nickname.... I actually think Schwa may have unintentionally led to that nick being given by explaining (way back when) why you couldn't edit that way here... because the midi editing here is "Item Based".

Of course after that most people said... "Well, maybe it should be 'track based'?" because in this context that's the very next hierarchical level up above clips that erases that border that currently can't be crossed over.

So the nickname kinda stuck, for this particular context. It kinda fits imo... as shorthand. I can't say I've heard that term anywhere else.

Anyway, Reaper isn't the only sequencer with artificial borders for midi editing. The best case is total access to any and all of the data from any editor.
