no probs, nice to see that we can brainstorm a bit about some of the gui
items
i must say that i'm starting to doubt that these changes should be in the
0.9.6
it seems like a 'simple gui change' is taking on bigger proportions and has
some serious consequences (not only to the gui)
imo it's important to get a gui change exactly right since this is not
something you want to do with every release
all those in favor of moving this to the 0.9.7 ?

agree, but then we need to make sure that these functions are well
documented because frankly i had absolutely no idea that some for these
functions even existed !
that's why i'm in favor of grayed-out buttons (event if that function is
not available, at least you can see that it exists), but mauser's argument
that it's not possible to keep adding buttons to the gui makes sense i guess

ok, but then we should have a button that always has 'piano' on it :
- when it is not pressed you are working in drum mode.
- when it is pressed the button text should still be 'piano' and the view
should switch to piano view
imo it makes much more sense! am i the only one that thinks this ??
in piano editor mode we can show the three extra buttons for vel. lead-lag

an idea :
how about removing the lead/lag, L-R and velocity buttons completely and
only keeping the dropdown that is located left of the note props window
(aka 'bottom window' ;-P)
currently this dropdown only has an impact on the notes props window, but
why not use this dropdown to also control the RMB function on the pattern
editor window ?

ok, if we do it for the note props we should also do it for the destr rec
dropdowns
but Wolke, can you explain what these dropdowns do ? please, please,
please ? ;-)
