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.
