2 small problems:

1. I created a drummap for Drumgizmo (in fact, several of them for 
different kits loaded into Drumgizmo) in that I edited it in the Drum 
Editor and then on the track right click -> Save Tracks Drumlist.

Then reloaded the map in a project, all working. Then I imported a MIDI 
file onto a new track and moved the parts from the track to the drum track.
The drummap was reset back to the GM map and even with loading it again, 
it did stay on the GM map. I checked the file and it looks correct (not 
GM map), but after loading it, it stays on GM map consistently

So the first loading was ok, adding manually parts was ok, after MIDI 
import shifting a part to the track changed the map and could not be 
reverted.
Interestingly I can load older drummaps created with Muse 2.2.1, that 
seems to work (does not switch to GM).


2. It is possible to shift notes in the map (which I did to group 
distributed stuff together), but when you load a map on existing notes, 
the notes on the piano roll stay the same (vs a shifted map), which 
leads to wrong instruments playing.
My workaround for this is currently to not shift notes in the drummap as 
this leads to surprising results.


Both observed on commit:
