I'm just grumbling about deadline pressure.  I have a lot left to do, and no 
more time.  But yes, it can all wait until February to go out, so ignore my 
hysterical babbling.

That is true, and there are only going to be more parameters added to this 
if/when Michelle's work gets merged in.  I'm coming to be of the opinion we 
should ditch the "classic view" idea, and just switch to tabs.  You don't 
want scrollbars, and if I compress the layout top to bottom with, say, four 
sets of widgets per row

label [button] label [button]

it will probably just exacerbate the problems with the thing being too wide.

I'm all ears here though.  I have always completely SUCKED at layout code.

That is also true, and I have no idea what's causing it off hand, unless it's 
the "Default transposition" label.

I'll try to play with compressing the layout today.

I'm hopefully done in Track, and just a small amount to do in Segment.  The 
rest of this will mostly be confined to layout changes to my patch of 
TrackParameterBox, some stuff somewhere in the notation editor, and entirely 
new code elsewhere.  I don't think it's worth going into a branch for that, 
personally.  I've been trying to stake out my territory so you (and Michelle) 
would only have to contend with any conflicts once.

Anyway, sorry I wasted my entire vacation working 'til dawn on this just to 
ruin your day on so many levels.
