Default Text lane in the ME

https://i.imgur.com/n5dLQSG.png

The pic above shows my standard project based ME. I do most of my work in here, and it is rather busy, and i use the ME far more than the arrange window.

My request is for a text "lane" in the ME.

Not to be confused with a CC lane(s) which vary from track to track, but a toggle hide/unhide lane where blocks of text can be added, and stay in view regardless of instrument track selected.

I take a lot of notes (including cadence marks for orchestration purposes) and see a real timesaver, and smarter workflow, being able to add text notes directly in the project ME. (It's an immediate visual cue when the text block is aligned with the timeline.)

Markers don't work here for this purpose, as i've tried that. (Too brief)

Alex.

Does this help?



Edit:
Oops, I did not see the bit about them being independent of a track. Put them in their own MIDI clip, perhaps, and display multiple clips in the MIDI editor

Thanks for the tip, it's at least something to work with.

but i was referring to a "global" lane specific to text that stayed in view, and didn't change according to which track was selected.
As well, the text in your pic can only be written single line. I'm suggesting a block of text that could fill the lane top to bottom. (For example, a more detailed description of dynamics for a particular purpose, or a note for shared instruments, etc.)

I'm already displaying multiple clips, as the pic shows. (ME is set to project.)

wow. That's a busy ME.

Yes, me to would like a text-lane.
Don't know if it should be for project or track.

I'm using Schwa's vst notepad for the moment.
