Here's a few modifications to Rustyspoon's great GUI.

Added:
Select send wav or mid/chart by left click, maybe ctrl left click to send both (Export track by left drag)
Select midi channel to send midi on (defaults to current midi file channel)
Select View Tab > | Tracks | Chords | Tracks&Chords | Preferences |

Please post any improvements/add-ons suggestions

Pipeline, I almost started clicking on your rendering smile
I hope PG team is taking notes on enormous work you do.

My drawing is a bit exaggerated on volumes, pans and meters. That section can definitely be narrowed by 20-30%

The part that I am a bit confused about is midi channel re-map. The position of it. I assume it is only good when you use a midi track, it is no good for RTs.

I am thinking... If Peter follows through with a major request of adding more tracks to the mixer in BIAB, plugin most likely to follow these rules for shots, holds, bar settings and internals.

Here is recent conversation on naming:

Here is the most elegant way in my view that VideoTrack proposed in 2013:
https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=229665&Searchpage=1&Main=32833#Post229665

Having said that. I think the Name of the track should be the first on the list like T1, T2 etc, as these potentially can be used as reference in chord grid, for shots, holds, rests. Example "C..T1"

The Midi "remap" buttons can go behind Stereo/Mono indicators as these in my view will only be used by advanced users, so they do not confuse RT's with MIDI. Also, if there is RT (and not Midi) track present corresponding remapping button can be grayed out.

Most RT RD have charts some of them are just a note reference, some from the Yamaha digital piano and the midi from the RealDrums. All these can be sent to be used on Virtual Instruments.

So you would be exempting the Hold for Track 1 with C...T1, but if you want to exempt it for other tracks you would need C...T1,T5,T11,T13
might need some more thought for a better way maybe ??

Maybe you can just use the track number only:

Pipeline,
you are way ahead of the game. Completely forgot, yes of course, numbers would be simpler to type than T1, T2.

P.S. Dark/light skin in preference? Or maybe even custom user shareable skins?

Yes for skin like Biab has or an xml/ini file to set the colors and images of different elements or color select like VstSynthFont.
And it will still be backward compatible for the BB tracks C...b,d,g,s,p
When more audio outs are added you can have a dropdown on each track to set the track channel/s out
Stereo > 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 ...
Mono > 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ...
