I think I'm going to do these in a separate dialog, hanging off a "Defaults..." button (with an explanatory tooltip) that will be available from either a MIDI or DSSI IPB. We have too damn many widgets in these boxes already.
I was thinking track for this all along, but Chris's simple "Aren't these instrument parameters?" got gears in my head turning, and I did a 180. Yes, I think so. So color, clef, transposition, highest/lowest playable notes go into this new dialog for use at segment creation time. It makes sense. Especially when instruments can belong to segments individually. So a trumpet instrument is always device X channel Y color Z treble clef -2 etc., no matter where you assign that instrument. It seems a little fiddly in use, almost like there's begging to be some new totally separate layer where this stuff is defined. Something added to the studio, like Pedro was getting at, but please for the love of whatever you love, not in the horrible bank editor dialog! But I think I'll vote for fiddly for now. Fiddly is a start, and I'm already biting off a lot more than any Spanish majoring tree hugging documentation writing truck driver ever ought to have. Code is for programmers, not truck drivers. I expect someone will have to walk behind me and wipe my butt on some of this too, but I feel fairly comfortable with all this, to my amazement. I'm not a programmer, but I fake it admirably, if I do say so myself. Now, let's make that new button do something. -- D.
