It is much more compact and comfortable now for translation, and it looks also 
better organised from the information POV. The drawback is some lost of 
symmetry between controls and some ugliness, but we can live with that. I 
also like the new icons.

Warning: The option "Use jack transport" can be enabled even when you are not 
running JACK. This causes high CPU load and inestability.

About the IntervalDialog: There are some strings missing the i18n() to be 
translatable. Even with that, the building way for the interval names makes 
it untranslatable. An example:

English interval name: "up 1 octave and a perfect fourth"
Spanish translation: "1 octava y una cuarta perfecta ascendente"

Not all languages accept the same order of words for the same sentence, and 
certain order that may be acceptable for some languages may be fully wrong 
for others. For instance, in spanish we say "fourth perfect" instead of 
"perfect fourth", or "third minor" instead of "minor third": the adjective 
and the noun in reverse order.

This dialog still requires some more work. We aren't yet ready to freeze 
strings.

Pedro
