Julie, I like your idea of toggling the feature off and on, but I have what I think might be a better suggestion that still keeps both behaviors as options - see my comments below in context.

So how about this change: Right-click on the track and the menu comes up as before, but with an additional option: Open in Notation editor in separate staves so that clicking on that option will execute the behavior Tom is proposing. On the other hand, clicking on the original "Open in Notation editor" option will behave as before, as well as (if notation is set as default) double-clicking on the track. In other words, the behavior stays the same unless the user explicitly chooses the "separate" option. It seems to me that won't break the workflow of those who prefer the original behavior. (The wording of the new option should, of course, be whatever is deemed to be most succinct and appropriate.) Comments?
