I'm just talking about the setting for whether a particular ruler is visible or not, and nothing deeper than that. It used to be stored in the segment, I think. Open a velocity ruler against a particular segment in a matrix view, and then open another matrix view, and a notation view. They all show the ruler. We could still do it that way, but I wonder if it's actually all that useful. Do I want something like this to follow my segment around from editor to editor? I don't really think so, no. So the other side of it is if I open a velocity, a pitch bend, a pan and a modulation ruler in a matrix view, do I really want the next matrix view (possibly of some completely different segment) to come up with those same rulers until I turn them back off? I don't really think so, no. I think for myself as a user, if these were quick to turn on and off, I would probably be content to create a ruler on the spot as needed, and let it evaporate when I was finished with that particular view window. Anyway, there is a lot of other stuff we can do before we really have to settle this question, so since there's nothing being held up waiting on a decision, this is a good opportunity to just spend some time thinking about how it should work. -- D.
