Hi, Here you can see right-click tool menu from Cubase application (music + MIDI) on Atari ST:
http://rrzs42.uni-regensburg.de/~hep09515/keyboards/1197/bilder/0000015g.gif The mouse cursor changes to the image of the selected tool. Squares were big enough for comfortable selection. This small rectangle with larger squares is better than circular menu, as one can have tools added and removed, while keeping location of first few tools unchanged. As mentioned before, this is not possible with circular menus as you are limited with space so you have to change widths of items and therefore to change their location. Brief description of toos: Arrow - pointer tool, select objects, move objects Eraser - delete objects Q - track specific tool (i have never used that) scissors - cut tracks like a tape (not like the 'Edit/Cut', but like real tape cutting) magnifier - zoom pencil - "draw" tracks - insert new tracks X (mute) - mute clicked track glue tube - glue tracks - oposiste operation to cut This is what I would call good metaphor of tools and good implementation of that metaphor.
