I have a suggestion for the next version of QWS. If you have "apply to all tracks" checked and you want to transpose, let the drum tracks stay. If they must be transposed, only they, should be selected by the user. What do you think?
Just mute the tracks you don't want transposed or affected at all. It's always been like that well, as long as I care to remember. that was a suggestion implemented by me some years ago. Apply to all tracks forgets any that are muted, and exactly how is qws to know what are drum tracks and what are not drum tracks, anyway? In this day and age where you can put drum tracks on pretty much all 16 channels these days, QWS isn't going to know what is what. Only with the XG and GS standard are you forced to use track 10 and only track 10, unless with xg you use bank 16256, and with GS, send the correct SysX message so you can use but one other track. Won't work I'm afraid. You would have to put none percussive tracks and percussive tracks into a different category in QWS and that would also have to be another feature, and all it would do is serve to help you not to transpose. I can't see of any other use for it at this time. That would be just another thing in the track properties dialog. Drum track or melodic track, some kind of radio button, but it isn't useful in the least. Hate to sound disappointing or anything.
