Default Three (3) MIDI editor things.

I think they're easily implementable.

1. in red: track name can be inserted in the MIDI editor toolbar. I can live without the MIDI item name. This is much more practical than a separate FILTER window.

2. In green: ghost notes CANNOT be edited. Clicking on the track name in the toolbar is more logical. I'm tired of clicking by mistake on ghost notes that share the same space of notes of the current track!

3. and in blue: Do the piano keys need be that long? The fact that they're black and white already makes it clear. It'll provide more space for the MIDI take view.

I realize that the toolbar only accepts PNG files. So the latter is more easily feasable:

1. Only track icon is displayed in the toolbar.

YES! YES! YESSSS! Ghost notes NEED TO BE a reference ONLY, not a switch between different channels! This has gone on long enough!

I also agree! I would like to be able to freely resize piano keys, BUT NOT the CC dropdown box!

I definitely agree with the second one, I think someone was suggesting midi editor tabs earlier, using tabs to select between midi tracks

Just to give an idea how impractical the editable ghost note is!

A look at smaller piano keys (scaled proportions are superfluous; it's just a reference!)



The only thing is that shorter piano keys would make proportions impossible with greater magnification.



But seriously, who needs such magnification? I'd like to know if there are some user that use greater magnification than the smallest one which enables note names and velocity numerals. To me the zoom feature beyond that point is pointless.

I certainly don't. I have pointed out to this a lot of times. There is simply NO NEED for such big zoom levels. I'd like it if those too big zoom levels end up just scrapped away.
