Okay, now I better understand what you guys are talking about, and it makes 
more sense. When I was thinking of expanding the meaning of an instrument 
definition, I was thinking of bringing up a tabbed dialog. The whole thing 
gets a name, tuning (for stringed instruments), and maybe some master 
controls. Each tab would represent a mode, which contained a program number, 
detailed controls (midi effects), and the like. The first mode is always the 
default for segments that don't include a mode property.

My main point was to be able have a set of reusable presets -- a kind of 
meta-instrument.

That would make it work like Cakewalk. That approach has worked okay for me.

I guess I better update my SVN copy. I stuck all the tuning and staff type 
parameters in a box which I called TrackParameterBox. Maybe they could be 
combined.


While I'm thinking about the main with the parameter boxes and the bar buttons 
taking up so much of the screen, I was wondering why the whole thing couldn't 
be stuck in a split window, so you could shrink it all up. That's what 
Cakewalk does (or did. I use an old version.).
